Deepen EU cooperation on terrorism and justice, say MEPs and national MPs

Calls for more joint EU action in counter-terrorism and justice matters were a common thread running through the final debates of the European interparliamentary meeting on freedom, security and justice in Brussels on 3 October 2006. MEPs, national MPs and judges were among those arguing for more use of qualified majority voting and codecision with Parliament as a way to make progress on home affairs issues.
