"Mr President, of course terrorism must be combated, but a number of the measures currently being introduced at breakneck speed are in danger of undermining the rule of law in society which the war against terrorism is intended to strengthen. Sweden, for example, has frozen all the assets of a number of Swedish citizens of Somali origin on the basis solely of a US list. They have no opportunity to defend themselves or to lodge an appeal. Two days ago, a Swede was expelled from Belgium for having put up posters for one of the legal demonstrations to be held in conjunction with the Laeken Summit. With this in mind, one may well ask how far we can go before destroying both the rule of law and freedom of movement within the EU. Are all these precipitous measures really only targeting terrorism or is it in actual fact the case that, despite all promises to the contrary, this is in practice turning into a campaign on the part of the authorities and the establishment against both immigrants from Muslim countries and normal legal protest movements against the neo-liberal class-based society? It would be excellent if the Commission and the Council could show that this is not the case."@en1
