".
The Commission agrees with Parliament's concerns and shares its view on the gravity of the recent bomb attacks in Mumbai. These attacks are proof that terrorism can strike in any part of the world and have disastrous consequences. The Commission condemned in the strongest possible terms the bomb attacks that caused much loss of life and many causalities in Mumbai on 25 August 2003.
President Prodi reacted immediately by sending a message to the Indian Prime Minister, Mr Vajpayee. He condemned the attack, offered his condolences and assured India of EU support in the fight against terrorism.
The EU and India have stood and stand side by side in their fight against terrorism, as spelled out in a Joint Declaration issued at the 2001 Summit in Delhi. Cooperation in this matter is part of our regular political dialogue at all levels, and we have set up a working group that has already met four times since May 2001.
A strong signal from the European Parliament is thus a very welcome contribution to the EU’s expression of solidarity with India. It will emphasise our common resolve to fight terrorism, wherever it occurs and whatever its motives."@en1
