lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it has almost become routine in this Chamber for us to have a legislative framework against terrorism in every plenary session. Every measure we take against terrorism, which we cannot be sure will be effective against it, is by definition harmful to democracy and human rights. In order to deal with terrorists, we have made our life difficult and, at the same time, we demean the life of citizens: body searches, microphones, cameras; none of this promotes democracy. Despite its pretty words, this report also moves in the same direction. Terrorism started to show its teeth thirty years ago. Then we said that the Stasi, the KGB and Gaddafi were behind it. Remember the aeroplane hijacks. Now there is no Stasi, there is no Gaddafi, there is no KGB. How does terrorism develop? Who feeds it? Another issue which it raises is why terrorists hit certain specific countries. Perhaps they hit the big countries? Then why do they not hit China, Brazil or Canada? Why did the last generation of terrorists choose to pick on Spain out of all the European countries? My country organised Olympic Games, squandered billions of euros of taxpayers' money and yet the terrorists did not hit us, which they could very well have done. We need therefore to learn a lesson: violence begets violence. In order to stop terrorism, we invaded two countries: Afghanistan and Iran. As a result, opium went up in Afghanistan, the opium which is killing our children, including many in Greece, while in Iran oil went up from USD 20 to 60 a barrel. We have new reports against terrorism and yet no report puts Mr Bush, who brought us to this point, in his place. Mr Blair, Mr Bush's field marshal, will be here tomorrow. So let us tell him that he owes us much more than he gives us, because the price of oil has risen from USD 20 to 60 a barrel, with the result that people are unable to pay and we are in this difficult position. Yes, money against terrorism but, above all of course, a policy for the people of Europe."@en1
