"Mr President, nobody questions the importance of Tampere I: it set a direction, it opened up an internal space and, consequently, numerous actions were initiated in all areas.
Those of us who promoted and actively participated in Tampere I know that Tampere II has to be radically different. It cannot simply be a multi-annual programme with the same characteristics as the previous one. It must be able to choose, select, specify, emphasise and, above all, prioritise. These are not the only verbs one could use to describe what Tampere II must achieve.
We must move on from the general fight against terrorism to a European political project able to deal with the fight against Islamist terrorism; from general plans to combat terrorism, we must move on to explaining what concrete measures our fight against a specific organisation requires. I would like to point out that our colleague Alain Lamassoure has just introduced a European pilot project for combating Islamist terrorism into this Parliament’s budget: I believe that that is the path the European Council must take.
The Prime Minister of Luxembourg, replacing the European Union’s President-in-Office, has stated that combating terrorism is our continent’s priority, since the attacks in Madrid, the Philippines and Asia show that this problem affects all of us. But it is not just a question of foreign policy: it must have consequences for internal policy. There can be no European foreign policy unless we first have a shared internal policy within the European Union; there can be no foreign policy in Europe unless we first create an area of freedom capable of dealing with the fight against terrorism."@en1
