lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the conclusion and the action plan of the extraordinary Council offer a solid basis for a focused, measured, coordinated response to the attacks of 11 September. The following are examples of the proposals which receive my full support: developing international judicial instruments, freezing the funding of terrorist networks and exchanging intelligence in conjunction with the US by setting up an anti-terrorist unit within Europol. We are also pleased that the Council, the Commission and Parliament have spoken with one voice over the past three weeks, embarrassing slips by Commissioner Bolkestein and Prime Minister Berlusconi apart. This suggests that European cooperation, both internally and externally, is growing up fast. The weapon of new terrorism is fear and disruption, and hunger for power. An effective line of attack protecting the international rule of law must spring from a worldwide coalition against terrorism under the aegis of the UN and on the basis of UN resolutions. Provided that that coalition is based on international rule of law principles and not, as was the case in the past with the Taliban, by financing future enemies, for that is misguided . I support a worldwide dignified response, irrespective of race, nationality or religion, proportional across the legal, political, diplomatic, financial, military and economic fields, whereby an appeal is made for extreme caution with regard to innocent lives. Furthermore, we should not lose sight of the long-term perspective, particularly now. Let there be no doubt about this: the direct causes of terrorism do not lie in creed or poverty. In the climate of globalisation, there are certainly links between economic development, contrasting poverty and trade. For example, the World Bank expects that, as a result of the terrorist attacks, economic growth in the developing countries will drop from 5% to 2%. The expected effects are enormous, with ten million additional people under the poverty line and between twenty to forty thousand more children under the age of five who will die. If we fail to formulate adequate responses in the face of this harsh reality, we in Europe will be applying double standards. Investing in worldwide security means taking safety measures, but it also calls for international solidarity, which is a basis for international cooperation and, along with this, a basis for the worldwide coalition against terrorism."@en1
