lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as has just been said this initiative was limited originally to the training of criminal law judges, but it was recognised that a second phase would be developed to address the training of civil and commercial law judges. There is a tradition in certain Member States that judicial independence should not be encroached upon. Indeed, this is enshrined in the Irish Constitution. Therefore, an appropriate solution needs to be found as to how to carry the work forward. I am sure we can find one. We already have an independent judicial training network. This particular initiative has been overtaken. I suggest that we now need to make immediate use of the existing network and to ensure, at the same time, that there is improved support for it. We really need to concentrate on the fight against terrorism which is, as we all know, national, European and global, and it is a priority for the European Union. I welcome the Council's determination, together with the Member States, to play a full role under the aegis of the United Nations in a global coalition against terrorism. Terrorist attacks are an attack on the most fundamental human right – the right to life. They are attacks under the cloak of night, human bombs in crowded streets and on buses; there are always victims of terrorism, as there are victims of crime, victims of man-induced famine. There is state-sponsored terrorism and terrorism of war and retribution, as we are witnessing in the Middle East. The form of terrorism that now threatens the world has no boundaries, no identifiable location. It moves money as well as infiltrating business, politics and worldwide legal and police systems with impunity. Ireland has had 30 years of terror, which effectively ended in stalemate. We should draw some lessons from that. Nations, cities, towns and most of all people are the victims of terrorism. The victims are the real prisoners of terrorism; the perpetrators all too often walk free. I would like to pay tribute again to the rapporteur."@en1
