With the widespread use of new information technologies and the advent of the internet, we are just a click away from a set of data that, if they fell into unscrupulous hands, could pose a threat to the safety of persons and property. We all remember the massacre (85 dead) which took place in Norway, on the island of Utøya, to be more specific, involving young people taking part in a Labour Party summer camp, as well as the detonation of a car bomb that killed seven people in the Norwegian capital only two hours beforehand. The ease with which we are able to access privileged information and certain dual-use products encourages terrorist activity and we must urgently restrict such access, since the security of States and citizens is at stake. I voted in favour of the report drawn up by Jan Mulder on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the marketing and use of explosives precursors, because we need measures applying across the Member States to prevent indiscriminate and uncontrolled access to substances that can be used to make home-made weapons. Since terrorism and criminality are cross-border phenomena, I know that this will be a major step towards avoiding new terrorist attacks within the European Union."@en1
