The current international and Community legal framework includes a set of instruments that are more than necessary for combating real terrorism and the organised, violent and transnational crime that is associated with it.
The aim of this proposal is to step up the set of security measures, which, on the pretext of the events of 11 September 2001, have put citizens’ rights, freedoms and guarantees at risk.
This proposal, as the rapporteur herself points out, puts forward ambiguous definitions that do not safeguard respect for fundamental freedoms.
As in ‘Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA on combating terrorism’ – with its definition of ‘terrorism’ – once again the possibility remains open for implementing security measures and criminalising individuals or groups who speak out against or write about State terrorism.
This proposal does not represent any added value in combating real terrorism and the associated transnational crime and in fact poses genuine threats to the security and fundamental freedoms of citizens in the various Member States.
As we have pointed out, rather than security measures we need to tackle the real causes fuelling terrorism.
As we have already stated, ‘we will not trade freedom for security, as we will be left with neither’. We therefore voted against the report."@en1
