"The Greens/EFA group today voted against the Joint Motion for a Resolution on Anti-terrorism Measures, as the resolution is sending the wrong message at the wrong time. The resolution agreed by the 4 bigger political groups provides
for EU governments to scale back personal freedoms with measures that will fail to properly respond to the terrorist threat. Instead of pushing for effective measures, the usual suspects who have been continually pushing for mass surveillance and data retention are using the Paris attacks as an excuse to bulldoze through these measures, despite any evidence that they will prove effective in countering the terrorist threat.
A coherent counter-terrorism strategy would focus on targeted surveillance of real suspects and ensuring security authorities have the means and resources to focus on specific risks and concrete suspicions, to follow any leads immediately, and to efficiently exchange information about dangerous individuals. This is what we should be trying to achieve. There is also a need to tackle radicalisation in schools and prisons. Finally we are missing a call for a legal definition of profiling.
Stepping up mass surveillance will undermine security and is instead a victory for fundamentalists, who are combatting precisely such democratic freedoms"@en1
