I voted against the proposal to insert a new offence of ‘provocation’ or ‘public provocation to commit a terrorist offence’ into European law in implementation of the Council of Europe Convention because I believe that the definition put forward by the Commission is too vague and is based on purely subjective elements, jeopardising human rights and fundamental freedoms, particularly freedom of expression in Europe.
In fact, any public statement, or any statement reported in the media, or any message posted on the Internet that might in some way – whether directly or indirectly, on the basis of ‘intent’ and with ‘the danger that such offences may be committed’ – be considered incitement to commit a terrorist offence, will be made a crime at European level. The declared objective is to come down on ‘terrorist propaganda’ on the Internet. The rapporteur has attempted to clarify the European Commission’s text in order to make it more respectful of human rights, seeking to introduce greater legal certainty. Despite this, I believe that we should reject this proposal, partly in order to send a clear signal to the Commission and the Council, which have already announced that they do not wish to accept Parliament’s proposals."@en1
