Whereas money laundering is not exclusively linked to financing terrorism, the truth is that this ‘crime for real criminals’ plays a key role in financing terrorist activities.
Europe must never forget that terrorism is a real and permanent threat, one that we must tackle. This is true of both ‘new terrorism’, which has taken on a new scale and relevance since 11 September, and for forms of terrorism that have been around for much longer and that are still active in Europe, as in the case of ETA.
Combating terrorism therefore requires unwavering vigilance and resolve. Legislation needs to be adapted, but this must be done without affecting freedoms, be they individual or collective; this applies to both freedom of expression and economic freedom. We must also, however, be conscious of which requirements placed on economic operators are fair, reasonable and effective and which are unworkable, ineffective or simply unreasonable. We must ensure that a balance is struck between freedom and security, and that we do not have one at the expense of the other."@en1
