"Mr President, terrorists acts are now punishable in all EU countries, and it is already possible to extradite criminals from one EU Member State to another. That means that what is being proposed here is to some extent an empty gesture. It is clear, however, that it is in danger of weakening legal certainty. The proposal means that extradition cases would not be examined in the same way as before and that special legislation against crimes specifically classed as terrorism would be implemented on very vague and unclear grounds. I think it is dubious, on such vague bases, to have a special legal system within a legal system. We can now already see how people who ended up on the UN’s and EU’s terrorist lists have had their assets frozen without discovering why. As a result, they have no means of defending themselves, either. I believe that when, as we must, we combat terrorism, we must do so by employing, rather than weakening, the Rule of Law."@en1
