2 A8-0025/2 2 Paragraph 10 a (new) 10a. Expresses concerns regarding the use of anti-terrorist legislation to limit the activities of social movements, as well as other expressions and actions that are in no way related to terrorist purposes or acts;

3 A8-0025/3 3 Paragraph 13 a (new) 13a. Deplores the fact that the austerity measures implemented by Member States and promoted by the EU institutions have seriously affected fundamental rights, including public and universal access to rights such as education, housing or healthcare; calls, therefore, on the EU institutions and the Member States to carry out ex-ante impact assessments on fundamental rights for all policies and to guarantee that sufficient resources are made available to safeguard respect for fundamental rights and to ensure minimum essential levels of civil, economic, cultural and social rights, with special attention to the most vulnerable and socially disadvantaged groups;

4 A8-0025/4 4 Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a. Calls for the European Union and its Member States to work to ensure the principles of truth and justice in relation to the crimes against humanity committed in Member States, as well as clarifying responsibilities and making reparations to their victims accordingly; deems it crucial, as a result, that all Member States cooperate with national or international judicial investigations in this area; urges them, in accordance with the Council Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA, to eliminate all forms of glorification or support of the regimes and their leaders that committed these crimes, such as monuments, the names of streets and buildings, awards, privileges, and public funding of their organisations and funds;

5 A8-0025/5 5 Paragraph 36 a (new) 36a. Calls on Member States, in their implementation of anti-terrorist legislation, to respect the rights of citizens as enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention of Human Rights, particularly those guaranteeing the right to effective judicial protection and avoiding extensive application of the acts classified as terrorism by Directive (EU) 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on combating terrorism and replacing Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA and amending Council Decision 2005/671/JHA;
