"In today’s vote, we have supported a new Council regulation on international terrorism, together with important amendments adopted by Parliament which enhance legal certainty and promote respect for fundamental human rights.
We deeply regret the unlawful situation that has arisen for the three Swedes on the UN sanctions committee’s list of suspected terrorists. There is clearly no legally tenable evidence against them. Instead, we are concerned here with a ‘preventive’ measure. The legal process in support of the Swedes must therefore be pursued further. We welcome the express reference in the amendments to the regulation to the fact that “The Court of Justice of the European Communities has jurisdiction in actions brought by the persons listed [by suspected terrorists]”. The proposal for a regulation also states that “a procedure should be established within the Community to amend these lists”.
Our country is bound under international law by the UN Security Council’s resolutions on which the Council regulation is based, and it must respect that principle, even when a decision goes against us. The objective of the resolutions – that of fighting terrorism – is both legitimate and urgent, but so too is the objective of bringing about a change to the way in which they are applied. The Council regulation is a step in the right direction, but legal certainty and respect for fundamental human rights require continued and intensified efforts to change current rules governing sanctions."@en1
