"Mr President, after the Paris attacks we rightly said: ʽnous sommes unis.ʼ Today we have to show the same unity in learning the lessons. Counter-terrorist police in my own East of England constituency told me that the checking of passports against the terrorist database at the external border and restricting the flow of firearms in mainland Europe would improve our security in Britain, too. And as one of five Members of the European Parliament security-cleared to read EU intelligence, I say that European nations can do much better in sharing their intelligence against our common threat.
To the High Representative, I say that that when France invokes the Treaty’s mutual defence clause, we have to make a meaningful response and that our efforts at the Vienna peace table are essential. But part of the obligation for all who sit there must be to cut off the flow of terrorist finance.
Europe should never compromise its values. Unity with our friends in Brussels, hoping that life can return to normal as quickly as possible there, because we defeat terrorists by refusing to allow them to disrupt our lives. Unity with our Tunisian friends, because we do not say that only European lives matter, and we believe we should combat radicalisation in partnership with all countries where terrorists are recruited. Unity with refugees, because they are fleeing the very same violence which we saw on the streets of Paris, and because all life is sacred. And unity with people of Muslim faith in Europe and the world, because in Europe, we say ISIS is wrong. We are Christian states; we are Jewish states; and we European states are Islamic states – not you."@en1
