lpv:translated text	"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I will say at the outset that I am in favour of the measures proposed by the UK Presidency to fight the terrorist threat and terrorist actions. We must not choose the wrong target. It is not the anti-terrorism measures you are proposing that form a threat, but terrorism itself. Acting without excessive security, but also without weakness, is the best way of avoiding the traps set for us by the terrorists and of responding clearly to the expectations of the citizens. The retention of data regarding telephone and Internet communications has already demonstrated its worth and must be encouraged, provided that it has a legal basis, that the cost problem is taken properly into account and that the period of retention and the conditions of use this is essential are specified. We are waiting for clear answers and new proposals that respond to the objections expressed by Parliament. Urgent decisions, very urgent ones, involving Parliament and the Commission, must be taken without delay. In addition, we must be able to use all the available technical measures such as, for example, surveillance cameras and biometric elements in identity cards. Finally, I would stress the fact that the exchange of information between states, international cooperation, as you said, is an essential element. There is no need, in this regard, to put forward new proposals. Parliament was almost unanimous in adopting three reports that I had the honour of presenting, which aimed to promote these exchanges. I would therefore encourage the UK Presidency to reach a clear conclusion, with our support. I also call on it to demonstrate the political will to improve cooperation regarding intelligence, which is the main form of preventative action. Ethically and politically speaking, we must also get sincere Muslims to condemn preachers of violence clearly, publicly and unreservedly and the responsible authorities to prosecute these preachers and deport them without any weakness. There are some behaviours, some statements, some principles that are incompatible with our concepts of freedom, human rights and public peace. Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we can no longer, without reacting, regularly hold three-minute silences in memory of victims of terrorism and hope that that will be enough to prevent the terrorists from acting from the shelter of the alibis they call on."@en1
