This report follows up the resolution in the last annual debate on the area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ), for which I was rapporteur. I shall begin by welcoming the fact that, following my suggestion adopted at the time, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs has begun to implement a process of dialogue and cooperation with the national parliaments. I should also like to point out that the adoption of the previous resolution coincided with the appalling terrorist attacks in Madrid, which reminds us that terrorism is the greatest current threat to fundamental rights, a fact that must neither be forgotten nor downplayed, and the fight against terrorism must be at the very forefront of political decision-makers’ concerns.
I should also like to reiterate the need for a ‘Tampere II’; a fresh meeting of the European Council dedicated to building the AFSJ needs to be held, in order to set a new timetable in this area and to draw up a realistic programme for this five-year cycle, which will be the result of reflection, political sincerity and strategic wisdom. It is far more important that we see a well-balanced and consistently reprogrammed AFSJ than any excessively proactive attitudes, which end up creating unnecessary tension, fomenting unrealistic expectations and distracting us from our central aims.
Given certain reservations I have as regards the proposed text, I was toying between voting in favour and abstaining, but the fact that the second part of Section 1(b), citation 8 and Amendments Nos 1 to 16 were adopted led me to vote against."@en1
