Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) Acts of terrorism constitute one of the most serious violations of security and of the universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity, enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on which the European Union is founded. It also represents one of the most serious attacks on democracy and the rule of law, principles which are common to the Member States and on which the European Union is based.

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) The terrorist threat has grown and rapidly evolved in recent years. Individualslamists referred to as "foreign terrorist fighters" travel abroad for terrorism purposes. Returning foreign terrorist fighters pose a heightened security threat to all EU Member States. Foreign terrorist fighters have been linked to several recent attacks or plots, including the attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015. In addition, the European Union and its Member States face increased threats from individuals inspired or instructed by terrorist groups abroad but who remain within Europe. The Schengen system, exemplified by the lack of checks at national borders, has also helped to exacerbate the terrorist threat.

Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Given that the objectives of this Directive cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States unilaterally and can therefore, because of the need for European-wide harmonised rules, be better achieved at the level of the Union, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article 5, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.deleted
