A. arvestades, et Haagi programmis ette nähtud terrorismivastasele võitlusele huvi pakkuvaid meetmeid tuleks kiiresti rakendada, et tugevdada vabadust, julgeolekut ja õiglust ELis;
A. whereas the measures listed in the Hague Programme which relate to the fight against terrorism should be implemented rapidly in order to strengthen freedom, security and justice in the EU,
B. arvestades, et terrorirünnakute tõhusaks ennetamiseks ja tõhusaks terrorismivastaseks võitluseks, samas austades inimõigusi ja põhivabadusi, ei saa liikmesriigid oma tegevust suunata vaid nende enda julgeoleku kaitseks, vaid peavad seda suunama ka ELi julgeolekule tervikuna;
B. whereas, in order to effectively prevent and combat terrorist attacks while respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms, Member states should not confine their activities to maintaining their own security, but should also focus such activities on the security of the EU as a whole,

b) kiiremas korras rakendada Haagi programmis pealkirjaga “Vabaduse, julgeoleku ja õiguse tugevdamine Euroopa Liidus” ette nähtud meetmeid, eriti neid, mis pakuvad huvi terrorismivastasele võitlusele, austades täielikult põhiõigusi;
b) to implement as soon as possible the measures listed in the Hague Programme, entitled 'Strengthening Freedom, Security and Justice in the European Union', in particular those relevant to the fight against terrorism, with due respect for fundamental rights,
c) nõuda, et liikmesriigid ühendavad luure- ja julgeolekuteenistustelt saadud teabe mitte ainult nende enda julgeolekuohtude tõrjumiseks, vaid ka vajadusel teiste liikmesriikide sisejulgeoleku kaitseks;
c) to demand that the Member States pool their intelligence and security data not only to prepare for threats to their own security but also, where necessary, to protect the internal security of the other Member States,
d) võtta kiiremas korras vastu kõik vajalikud õiguslikud meetmed, et ELi tasandil koostada ühtne ja tõhus raamistik nii mis tahes tüüpi terrorirünnakute ennetamiseks kui ka nende tagajärgedega tegelemiseks, kaasa arvatud meetmed, mille eesmärk on tagada laitmatu koostöö vägede, julgeolekuorganite ja väliskoostöö vahel, tagades ühtlasi demokraatlikku järelevalvet ja põhiõiguste kaitset;
d) to adopt as soon as possible all the necessary measures to establish an EU-wide coherent and effective framework both to prevent all types of terrorist attacks and to deal with their consequences, including measures to guarantee unfailing cooperation between security forces and bodies and external cooperation services, with a view to ensuring democratic control and protection of fundamental rights,
