"Terrorism represents a genuine danger for the Member States of the European Union. It is important for us to put adequate prevention measures in place in order to ensure the security of every country. In the field of air security in particular, there is definitely room for improvement and the measures which have already been taken need to be evaluated to identify where they can be made better. However, as the report mentions, our society, which requires protection, is calling for security for its citizens, but this must not, under any circumstances, involve their fundamental rights being restricted. Especially in the case of the use of security scanners, this involves a delicate balancing act. In addition, when it comes to the measures that have been taken so far, there is always the feeling that the EU is lagging behind the terrorists. According to the rapporteur, security scanners could close some of the loopholes and, following consultation with experts, they have been evaluated with regard to damage to health, fundamental rights and the effects on the economy. The rapporteur comes to the conclusion that the European Union should agree on the EU-wide use of scanners. I have not voted in favour of the report because the rapporteur goes into too little detail about the measures that have already and will, in future, be taken, in particular, with regard to respect for fundamental rights. In addition, every Member State should be free to choose whether or not it should install security scanners."@en1
