lpv:translated text	". Mr President, having heard all the speeches, the Presidency of the Council wishes to join in expressing its pleasure that today a major decision is being taken; the decision to approve these two Watson reports. I agree with the speakers who said that this is a great day. I would say that it represents a huge step forwards in the construction of this area of security, justice and freedom. Although it has been suggested that we could have done this sooner, the fact is that we are now, at least, on the way to achieving it. At the same time, I should like also to say, Mr President, in response to the words of some honourable Members of this Parliament, who expressed their concerns that the implementation of these decisions could endanger fundamental rights, human rights and the idea that every European country accepts the primacy of the Rule of Law, I should like to say that this primacy and the safeguard of these fundamental values and human rights are the foremost considerations of the Council and the Member States when implementing these antiterrorist measures. We are convinced – as I feel sure Parliament is – that the best way to combat the scourge of terrorism is precisely to do so on the basis of our system of values and with the law behind us. And also to fight resolutely, in order to safeguard this system of values, which terrorism wishes to ignore. I therefore wish, on behalf of the Council, to offer every guarantee that citizens’ rights will never be violated by the implementation of the decisions taken by the Council, which are also supported by this Parliament in the two Watson reports."@en1
