"Fundamental freedoms and rights must never be called into question. That is especially important in the fight against terrorism. Terrorism cannot be fought by curtailing democracy and human rights. According to the UN Charter, all Member States are bound by decisions taken by the UN Security Council. These decisions are binding but can never be absolute. There must be room for manoeuvre. The sanctions committee’s practice of accepting without qualification the United States’ list of individuals and organisations suspected of terrorism is not acceptable. The fact that the list, which is not made public, is approved by the sanctions committee if no one on the committee protests within 48 hours opens the way to unsubstantiated decisions. It is a case of fundamental freedoms and rights being eliminated by a non-judicial authority when the individuals concerned are neither informed of what they are being accused of nor given the opportunity to appeal against the decision. Parliament’s amendments are crucial in order to guarantee EU citizens legal certainty. I am therefore able to support the Council regulation only in such an amended form."@en1
