The 2004 attacks in Madrid, 2005 attacks in London, and most recently, the direct attack to freedom of expression last January with the murders at Charlie Hebdo's office in Paris, have fed the debate on security against liberty. The freedoms guaranteed within the EU, and particularly the freedom of movement of people across former national borders of countries taking part in the Schengen area, are now being questioned by extreme nationalist parties emerging and growing in different European countries. Many of them having often stated their goal not only of closing borders but ultimately of dismantling the EU, they do now attempt to gain popularity making use of tragic terrorist attacks in order to spread their ideology further and promote a generalised islamophobia. 7 EELV 15 add the direct attack to freedom of expression last January with the murders at Charlie Hebdo's office in Paris, have fed the debate on security against liberty. 8 Bündnis Recent events are further endangering the fundamental rights of European citizens.

In Hungary, the constitutional reform and the subsequent legislative changes had a severe effect on the democratic system of checks and balances, the independence of the judiciary and data protection authorities among others, the fairness of the electoral system, media pluralism, right to social security, freedom of thought, conscience and religion and freedom of information, respectively. to add: "In Hungary, the constitutional reform and the subsequent legislative changes had a severe effect on the democratic system of checks and balances, the independence of the judiciary and data protection authorities among others, the fairness of the electoral system, rights of minorities and rights of the political opposition, media pluralism, right to social security, freedom of thought, conscience and religion and freedom of information, respectively." In France, an anti- terrorism law was passed in to accept and insert after AM 20 September 2014, despite serious reservations of human rights associations. Among other problematic dispositions, the law allowed direct censorship of websites without judicial intervention and aroused concerns on freedom of speech and the potential criminalization of social contest. A new "Intelligence Law" has been passed on May 5th 2015, again despite the unanimous opposition of a large panel of associations. This law extends the powers of the French Intelligence service and raises new concerns about privacy and personal data, as it gives these services free rein for mass surveillance of the Internet and extends the possibility of such surveillance to social movements and whistleblowers. 17 FYEG 44 replace Human Rights human rights Page 4 Compromise Amendments draft resolution on Liberties and fundamental rights in Europe

Therefore, we call for a serious commitment from the EU and its member states to create more legal routes for migrants seeking to come to the EU to live and work and refugees to come to seek protection, such as a humanitarian corridor. There is also an urgent need to establish a system for search and rescue throughout the Mediterranean. Additionally the EU should develop a system of responsibility-sharing towards refugees and develop and harmonize its asylum processing system. 36 GGEP 68 add These practices under national law are in direct violation with EU and international law, and the principal of non-refoulement and should be stopped immediately. 24 Groen CAS delete lines 81-83 We therefore reject any undermining We therefore reject any undermining of civil VOTE of civil liberties, and clearly say NO to liberties, and clearly say NO to any step an EU Patriot Act, or any towards restrictions of freedom other steps towards similar restrictions of freedom Page 7 Compromise Amendments draft resolution on Liberties and fundamental rights in Europe

31 Groen CAS delete point lines 92-4 100 4. We want to draw attention that the source of increasing instability in many regions of the world, feeding extremist and terrorist groups, lies in the increasing socioeconomic inequalities, coupled with climatic and environmental degradation of many areas, which rise misery and destroy peoples dignity. And these undesirable conditions are often caused, directly or indirectly, by external policies or actions from the EU, or some of its Member States. VOTE to DELETE compromise text : "4.We want to draw attention to the fact that while these reforms degrading our democratic framework are put in motion in the name of security, there seems to be little interest by those same political actors in confronting the sources of the security issues we are facing. The increasing instability in many regions of the world contributes very significantly to the rise of extremism and terrorism abroad and in Europe. Socioeconomic inequalities, coupled with climatic and environmental degradation of many areas, rise misery and destroy peoples dignity. And these undesirable conditions, which are often also at the origin of remote wars and longlasting armed conflicts, are in many cases directly or indirectly exacerbates by external policies or actions from the EU, or some of its Member States having particular interests in a certain region."
