lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the dread and panic which terrorism spreads is the same regardless of whether the perpetrator is a lone sniper in Washington or large-scale networks such as Al-Qaeda. Terrorism is not a new phenomenon in itself. It was not ‘invented’ on 11 September 2001. On the other hand, global terrorism with a worldwide network, high-tech weapons and apparently inexhaustible economic resources is a new and extremely frightening phenomenon. The attacks in New York and Bali made it clear to everyone that the fight against terrorism must be carried out at global level, in the form of police and judicial cooperation, intelligence and investigations. However, it is also important to engage in long-term, preventive cooperation to eradicate, or at least minimise, the causes of terrorism. Democracy is the best antidote to terrorism. The international alliance must therefore prioritise massive efforts to strengthen democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. Trade, aid and cooperation in international organisations are also important. In the fight against terrorism, peace in the Middle East would be an extremely important contribution to the jigsaw. The Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party fully realises the need for increased cooperation in order to combat terrorism. A good deal has been done; a good deal more can be done. We must, however, bear in mind that the chief target of the terrorists is the open society. That is why we must not, in our eagerness to combat terrorism, undermine the heart of democracy. The rule of law must never be sacrificed on the altar of our drive to act. Special rules, military tribunals and unclear reasons as to why an individual or group has found its way onto a certain list are unacceptable. It is scandalous that the prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay base are still in legal limbo. I should like to ask the Council what is being done to obtain a clear picture of, in particular, the situation of the European citizens in Cuba. Mr President-in-Office, you quoted from Karl Popper’s . We must not become enemies of the open society ourselves. If we do, the terrorists will win hands down"@en1
