"Mr President, the attacks in America remind me most of the attack on the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo in June 1914, when a terrorist, who appeared from nowhere, struck at the heart of the Habsburg Empire, a superpower deemed invincible. That fatal incident elicited an overreaction, which led to the First World War.
It is of the utmost importance to combat international terrorism. It is equally important for this to be done collectively, forcefully and – I emphasise – with well-considered restraint.
The European Union itself must also set to work. Commissioner, thank you, you are not the problem, neither is this Parliament. I would address my former colleague, the Minister of the Belgian Presidency. Tampere was two years ago. I would urge the Belgian Presidency to abolish the right of veto in the Third Pillar. If not, we will remain bogged down and unable to tackle terrorism effectively."@en1
