"Madam President, I also wanted to say that I appreciate the work that has been done on this report. Through working together, we have found much to agree on on this report as it is tabled, even if we disagree on some elements – and that is not surprising. But we know we have to work within the framework of the democratic values that we espouse and which are under attack, and not only from one direction – and I do not mean the pop group. The report makes it clear that terrorism is not the prerogative of any single religion, nationality or civilisation, and we also have to recognise at the moment that it is an international phenomenon.
We can all agree, for example, that we need to radically improve the use of the intelligence information that we have, to tackle arms trafficking, and to track and disrupt terrorist financing. We will not all agree, it is clear, on the use of PNR. My Group’s concerns are well-known, and we feel that the millions of euros to be invested in the system could be better and more effectively spent, for example, on joint investigation teams within Europol, on delivering on the effective resourcing of EU agencies – as called for in Madam Dati’s report – such as CEPOL, EUROJUST and EUROPOL itself, or on offering further support to the RAN network. Parliament thoroughly agrees with the evaluation of the Commission there.
We need to strengthen local capacity to combat violent extremism. In terms of prevention within our own communities, London’s Police Commissioner at the time of the London underground bombings recently said that national security depends on neighbourhood security. Community policing depends on trust from communities, so that people feel able and know how to report the unusual, the worrying and the suspicious. This is not going to happen when everyone from a particular social group is treated as a suspect and an outsider, or if every teacher and social worker is turned into a potential spy. The roles and responsibilities need to be clear and the funding streams different.
Social cohesion is essential, and those who increase social division and push a style of community collective guilt for terrorist acts are certainly not providing solutions. We also recognise what was said in the report about the internet as a potential vehicle for grooming for the purposes of violent extremism. We need clear rules on how we deal with that."@en1
