".
The British Conservatives voted in favour of the Watson report in order to send a message that we will give no quarter in the fight against terrorism, and particularly to show solidarity with our colleagues involved in the on-going fight against terrorists, notably ETA.
However, while the Conservatives have a long and proud record of fighting terrorism, our concerns about undue interference and politicisation in due legal process are equally long-standing. We are anxious that extending Community competence into this area will impair the ability of Member States to take those measures which they consider necessary to tackle this problem. We feel that it is premature to grant Europol far-reaching powers, and maintain our conviction that different national legal traditions mean that the way forward must be by cooperation, not harmonisation.
We will never, under any circumstances, give succour to those who seek to use force to undermine legitimate democratic institutions."@en1
