"Statewatch, a European civil liberties watchdog, accused the EU of a “response as panicked as it is predictable” with a shopping list of unworkable, legally questionable measures “that will do nothing to prevent the kind of appalling attack witnessed this week”.

“On the basis of what is now known about the Charlie Hebdo attacks, the need to review existing security arrangements far outweighs the need for any new legislation,” said Ben Hayes, a specialist in EU security policy for Statewatch."
