"This report offers a good analysis of the present policy and shortcomings of the EU’s anti-terrorism struggle. I concur that the struggle against terrorism needs a united approach, regardless of the fact that the situation may seem very different from one Member State to another. It is enough for one EU Member State to underestimate the terror threat, and the consequences may be catastrophic. The struggle against terrorism does not, of course, mean that we deal only with consequences; we must invest more in policies countering racism and discrimination. Society must certainly be heedful that the fundamental rights of the members of our civil society not be violated under the banner of the struggle against terrorism. I also perceive a danger in the behaviour of several superpowers, which too lightly label ‘unpleasant persons’ terrorists because they dare to stand up for the human rights of small nations and do not approve of all of the decisions made by the central authorities. Naturally the concept of terrorism and the terrorist should be precisely defined at the European level, to ensure that individual human rights activists who are politically at odds with the authorities are not groundlessly labelled as terrorists or accused of terrorism, as was unfortunately customary in the former Soviet Union."@en1
