lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is of course a great tragedy that it should take acts of terrorism of the kind seen in Madrid for Europe’s leaders to pull themselves together. Despite the fact that terrorism has reared its ugly head in several Member States on previous occasions, we have perhaps naively believed for a long time that these major attacks could never happen to us. We are now realising that the fight must take place at global level, but also by means of intensified European cooperation. Therefore, it is good that many important steps were taken at the summit at the weekend, even though they are insufficient. We must create much better preconditions for the coordination of intelligence services and also, in time, create a kind of European FBI that is also operational. Where miscreants and criminals operate across borders, so must the long arm of the law. The most important work in the fight against terrorism, however, is the work on peace and development, and there is much that the EU can do in this regard. A cohesive foreign policy is an important means to this end. It is very important, therefore, that the Convention’s proposals in this field be adopted. I should like to thank the Presidency for the work it is doing in this field."@en1
