"Question 37 by Gay Mitchell ()
In many countries across the European Union, the alarmism caused by global terrorism has led to a frightening erosion of civil liberties. A fundamental principle underpinning the social contract is that a government must justify any restriction on the rights of the citizen by clearly and irrefutably demonstrating the necessity of that restriction for the general security of the nation. The burden of proof appears to have been transferred from the authorities implementing the security measure to the people subject to it.
Does the Commission agree with this assessment? How will the Commission go about redressing the imbalance between security and freedom?"@en1
