"Mr President, I voted against this proposal in the full knowledge that those who were in favour acted with the best intentions and wanted to do good. However, we have to weigh up very carefully matters involving, on the one hand, the rights and freedoms of individuals and citizens and, on the other hand, security. Of course, I am aware of the fact that certain politicians and certain countries might treat questions of security in an inappropriate and expansive manner in order to gain greater control over their citizens. We should all be against such approaches but, on the other hand, terrorism is not just some fairy tale, it is not something from a film, it is not political fiction. Terrorism is a real threat. We have to have instruments to counter terrorism and this is why I voted the way I did."@en1
