"Upon reading Ms in ’t Veld’s report, I was surprised at the naivety of some of its statements and proposals. It is clear that Ms in ’t Veld is no expert in terrorism, or even in counter-terrorism as it is carried out in the Member States. She also has a short memory! An opponent of profiling, she does, however, suggest that some forms of terrorism, which she describes as ‘religiously motivated’, are the work of poorly integrated and disadvantaged minorities. The fact is, most of the perpetrators of the terrorist acts of the last decade were fully integrated, had a university degree, a job and citizenship of an EU country. An advocate of absolute transparency, of cost-benefit analysis and of democratic debate on the policy being pursued, she prefers to ruin all the efforts of the police and intelligence services, the success of which depends precisely on discretion. Her proposals amount to nothing less than informing potential terrorists of our weaknesses and of the best possible targets to aim for. Had I needed any proof that counter-terrorism is one area that must be protected as much as possible from the harmful actions of the EU and its institutions, Ms in ’t Veld’s report would have certainly provided it."@en1
