"I would like now to make a statement at the opening of this plenary sitting on the attacks in Amman.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, on 9 November, the terrorists struck again, demonstrating their full horrific capabilities, this time in Jordan.
On behalf of all of us – on behalf of the European Parliament – I immediately expressed the emotion we felt as a result of this attack to the Jordanian authorities and I asked them to communicate our condolences to the families of the victims.
We will have the opportunity to debate the phenomenon of terrorism and the most effective way to tackle it at the meetings that we will hold on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Barcelona Declaration.
Terrorism today is a problem that not only affects Europe. Terrorist attacks also take place in Casablanca and in Jordan. It therefore threatens both flanks of the Mediterranean and they must tackle it in a joint fashion.
This issue will certainly be on the agenda and will figure in the debates that we will hold in Rabat on 20 and 21 November, at the extraordinary meeting of the APEM, and also in Barcelona, on the 27th and 28th, at the Summit of Heads of State or Government.
At this point, however, I believe that we must make it very clear that, for us, these barbarous acts demonstrate the extent to which the attacks are not aimed at people with different religions or skin colours; this has nothing to do with the lethal strategy of the terrorists. It is urgent that Europe should cooperate in order to make progress with the ‘alliance of civilisations’, that will enable us to avoid the ‘clash of civilisations’.
For all of these reasons, I would ask you to stand and observe a minute’s silence in memory of the victims of the attacks in Amman."@en1
