"Together we have been working towards minimising the necessity of special intervention units. However good the units and their cooperation are, an ounce of prevention is still better than a pound of cure.
I believe that the certainty of coordinated and powerful response will go a long way towards making any hostage takers, terrorists or desperate criminals think twice.
This means that there should be no unnecessary obstacles, no incentives to compromise our security for the sake of procedural rules.
I think it is possible that the currently envisaged network of bilateral agreements will serve our needs adequately. Only close neighbours can guarantee rapid reaction, which mostly goes together with the need for special intervention.
On the other hand, in the case that several Member States are attacked simultaneously, as is the clear possibility with cyber-attacks, we do need transparency and a certain consistency of arrangements throughout the European Union.
This report is a part of complex equation, the result of which might change as new data comes in. We should not view the current arrangement as permanent one. We must be ready to develop this cooperation into a Community policy.
My congratulations to the rapporteur."@en1
