lpv:translated text	"I would like to express my support for this own-initiative report, which urges Member States of the European Union to be better coordinated in the fight against terrorist acts. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of terrorist activities within the European Union’s borders and every Member State has been affected by these activities. Traditional forms of judicial and police cooperation are often found to be inadequate in combating this new form of terrorism, which stems from the activities of networks operating at international level, which are based in several countries and exploit legal loopholes arising from the geographical limits of investigations, sometimes enjoying extensive logistical and financial support. We must, of course, condemn these acts, which traumatise whole families and create a climate of terror in the areas that are particularly affected. More importantly, however, we must make firm proposals that seek to put an end to these despicable acts. This is the aim of the report, which contains some interesting proposals, such as: the creation of a ‘European search and arrest warrant’ with a view to combating terrorism in the context of action against crime, whether organised or not, trafficking in human beings and crimes against children, illegal trafficking in drugs and arms, and corruption and fraud establishing minimum rules at European level relating to the definition of criminal acts and to penalties in the field of terrorism abolishing formal extradition procedures and adopting the principle of mutual recognition of decisions on criminal matters relating to terrorist offences adopting the appropriate legal instruments for the approximation of national legislation concerning the compensation of victims of terrorist crimes. Like the rapporteur, I also believe it is essential to work on preventing terrorist acts. To achieve this, Member States must continue to conduct education and social policies that aim to combat all forms of social, economic and cultural exclusion. Poverty and a lack of education help to create a favourable hunting ground, which can be exploited by fundamentalists. We can no longer turn a blind eye to these acts, which threaten the democratic future of our societies."@en1
