"In favour. The own-initiative report on the internal security strategy follows and should be read together with other own-initiative reports in the internal security cluster on organised crime (Alfano/ALDE, resolution P7_TA-PROV (2011)0459 adopted on 25.11.2011), which led to the Special committee on organised crime, corruption and money laundering (CRIM), and on counterterrorism (In ’t Veld/ALDE, resolution P7_TA-PROV (2011)0577 adopted on 14.12.2011). In recognising that the EU has an additional value in ensuring a high level of security, we should not go along with the dominant discourse that there can be no individual liberty without us all becoming ‘pre-suspects’ and having to accept ‘continued and comprehensive state surveillance’ (as exemplified by the Data Retention Directive, and the PNR, TFTS and borders package proposals) to ensure collective security. The starting point should be an individual’s liberty from the state, and justification of law enforcement measures in the sense of them being both necessary and proportionate in a democratic society. Now that there has been a (partial) transfer of sovereignty from the Member States to the EU in the area of justice and home affairs, we need to redefine ‘checks and balances’ to ensure security measures respect individual freedoms in a supranational context."@en1
