"Mr President, since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September of last year, we in the European Parliament have debated the threats to our freedom, democracy and values in a more realistic light than before. Most of us have realised that an attack on the United States is an attack on ourselves. Just a few months further on, however, there are circles that are busy relativising the threats by distancing Europe from the United States. None of us likes the restrictions and controls that hit all of us and limit everyone’s rights to freedom, but we have to accept them because we do not know where, and precisely who, the enemy is. We must, however, face the fact that until the divisions that divide the world economically, religiously and ideologically have been removed, it is impossible for us to bring about the area of peace, security and justice we want to see.
While I shall vote in favour of the framework decision on combating terrorism, I shall abstain from voting in favour of the framework decision on the European arrest warrant since the latter has not appeared on the scene because of the terrorist threat but serves the overall purposes of federalism and is not limited to striking a blow against terrorists. In actual fact, I agree with Baroness Ludford that legal certainty is not, in all Member States, at a level that can justify such far-reaching surrender procedures as are at issue here."@en1
