"Madam President, Mr Barrot, it is no coincidence that a whole series of Spanish MEPs have spoken. In the Basque Country, in addition to the suffering caused by a terrorist attack, victims have frequently suffered contempt or silence after the event. This is why a movement has been forming seeking the recognition of victims, which I think requires a policy for the victims of terrorism. If I may, I would like to add to what has been said by all my fellow Members in favour of a charter or of a common approach to this policy by giving you a very brief summary of ten aspects that I feel are key in this respect. Ninthly, it requires policies of remembrance so that the victims are not forgotten. Finally, it requires a policy of social reconciliation in order to heal the wounds caused by terrorism. These are the ten commandments that I propose for a common policy for the victims of terrorism. Firstly, the victims’ policy requires public sympathy, recognition and social support for victims. Secondly, it requires swift and effective compensation for the damage suffered. Thirdly, it requires equal treatment for all victims. Fourthly, it requires a political and social consensus regarding the measures to be used for victims of terrorism. Fifthly, it requires a policy of discrediting the social and political discourse of violent people. Sixthly, it requires that those guilty of terrorism are punished in exemplary fashion, with swift, efficient access to justice for victims. Seventhly, it requires education and teaching against violence in the population. Eighthly it requires a guarantee for victims that the attacks suffered will not be repeated, which can also happen."@en1
