lpv:translated text	"Mr President, naturally, measures must be taken to combat terrorism. That much is clear. Upon reflection, however, it is interesting to note in this context that most countries have adequate rules. That being said, an extension to the mutual obligation to hand over wanted criminals might be contemplated, but it should be far more restricted than provided for here. Having said that, I want to say that I have difficulty finding words strong enough to express my rejection of the proposals before us. That rejection is something I express not only as a politician but, first and foremost, as a lawyer. I want to say that it is difficult to find even one lawyers’ organisation of any kind in the Member States that wishes to endorse these proposals. They all have major or minor reservations, and many are forthright in their rejection of them because it is a case of the end justifying the means, and the means to be used amount to a violation of what are fundamental ideals in terms of legal rights, something which, for example, Denmark’s General Council of the Bar has come out very strongly against. In my view, this panic reaction has meant that these proposals have been treated with a quite scandalous disregard for any basic demand that they be properly examined. These fundamental legal reforms, which are among the most complicated of legislative matter and require an extensive consultation procedure, are to be implemented without any substantial debate on the issues involved and on the basis of, if I may say so, Commissioner, what is, to put it mildly, inadequate preparation. It is unpleasantly reminiscent of political ‘body-snatching’, and that is a violation of fundamental legal rights."@en1
