"The terrorist threat has assumed global dimensions, requiring a global reaction in order effectively to combat this threat to democracy and the free exercise of human rights. The EU prides itself on its ongoing protection of respect for these fundamental values throughout the world and within Community territory. The rapid and effective EU action in defining its global anti-terrorist strategy (the European Action Plan on Combating Terrorism) is to be praised. The aims of the global EU and Member State Strategy must be:
1 – to reinforce the principles of the rule of law;
2 – to strengthen democratic control – it is regrettable that both the EP and national parliaments have only been partially informed about measures decided on by the Council;
3 – to enhance the means of prevention and suppression of terrorist crimes. It is crucial that the Member States have effective criminal legislation in place and adopt measures for police and judicial cooperation. The area of Freedom, Security and Justice that we are gradually constructing only makes sense if there is a balance between these three components, without any one of them impinging on the others. The tragic events of 11 September 2001 cannot be used to justify excesses or abuses that enable security to suffocate freedom and justice."@en1
