". Madam President, I have voted against the Watson report for the following reasons. I fully support the measures against terrorism and in my view, it is possible and necessary for the EU Member States to work closely together in this field. The European arrest warrant can make a major contribution towards the efficiency of the fight against terrorism within European territory. I am of the opinion that the European arrest warrant is desirable. However, this should be thought through and considered more carefully, so that it is not implemented at the expense of other important matters. The present draft offers too little in the way of guarantees and may sound the death knell of Dutch liberal criminal policy. In order to strike a compromise, I have tried to table an amendment via the rapporteur which prescribes the following condition for the European arrest warrant: a European arrest warrant may only be issued for offences committed on the territory of the requesting State. However, this amendment has been vetoed by the Socialists in the working party. I have also voted against the report because the Council is expected to adopt a different draft. I am therefore in favour of anti-terrorist measures as well as the European arrest warrant, but not at the expense of the liberal criminal policy in the Netherlands."@en1
