I will answer both questions together, starting by saying that, clearly, the European Union firmly condemns, once again, the savage terrorist attacks carried out in Casablanca and in every other part of the world. The attacks in Casablanca are a brutal confirmation that terrorism is a growing threat to democracy, peace and international security, from which no country can consider itself free or safe. The struggle against terrorism calls for maximum determination from the international community and the strongest will to co-operate and initiate concerted action. The European Union will continue – and I consider this to be an absolute priority for the Italian Presidency – to do its part to prevent and eliminate this threat.
The Union has adopted a global approach to the fight against terrorism which encompasses all the European Union’s policies. It is based on an action plan which is being implemented according to plan and a regularly updated schedule. An updated report by the Presidency on activities related to the fight against terrorism was, as you know, submitted to the Council during the June 2003 part-session. Internally, the Union is using political, economic and legal instruments; at the same time, the Union is taking steps to incorporate the fight against terrorism into all aspects of its foreign policy. In political dialogue meetings with non-Member States – and clearly regarding the matter in question, Morocco – this issue is regularly included on the agenda. Lastly, at the same time the European Union is continuing to foster dialogue and exchanges between cultures, religions and civilisations. This is a considerable task, being carried out chiefly within the Barcelona Process framework to create a Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the dialogue of cultures and civilisations, a measure which can help eliminate the causes of all forms of fundamentalist violence which may lead to terrorism."@en1
