".
We wish to once again affirm our complete and unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist acts witnessed in the United States of America, and the need to provide a response based on joint action and international cooperation within the UN that fully respects its Charter. We must, however, state our strong disagreement with the method that the Commission has sought to impose in presenting its “draft regulation on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating international terrorism”.
As part of the fight against terrorism, we feel it is necessary to adopt measures for combating organised crime, which specifically involve attacking money-laundering and the various forms of trafficking and abolishing tax havens. We feel it is unacceptable, however, that a list of organisations and individuals, possibly supplied by the government and intelligence services of the United States – a country which not so long ago opposed any monitoring of tax havens – should be submitted for the approval of the European Parliament, when no supporting evidence has been provided.
Furthermore, it is our view that the necessary fight against terrorism must not be used as a pretext for influencing essential aspects of sovereignty of the Member States of the European Union."@en1
