lpv:translated text	". The radical Members voted against this document in order to express their opposition to terrorism and to emergency policies and procedures and their support for democracy and the rule of law and for the dignity of Parliament and the Members of the European Parliament. We voted against the motion because this is the fourth time the European Parliament has been asked to adopt ‘exceptionally’ a document containing several gaps which seeks to take steps to combat terrorism, and the second time it has been asked to endorse without a debate or report the decision to freeze the assets of persons and companies on the grounds that they are involved in – unspecified – terrorist activities. We voted against the motion because it is now clear that, after 11 September, it has become standard practice to exploit the urgent procedure, using it as an emergency measure in situations that do not justify this. We voted against the motion because, as Members of the European Parliament, we refuse to do the job of the ‘naturally’ appointed bodies, namely the judiciary and the police, for them, or to take on their responsibility. We voted against the motion because we are against a measure which should be the remit of the criminal police and which could have been debated and adopted using the ordinary procedure. We voted against the motion in the hope that an initiative might be produced by Parliament as a whole opposing emergency procedures and policies which undermine the fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law, doing the terrorists’ work for them."@en1
