"The Meijers Committee would like to comment on the European Commission's proposal for a Directive on combating terrorism,1 partly in light of the proposals made in the Council's General Approach of 3rd of March 2016 and the European Parliament's LIBE Committee's draft report of 10th of March 2016. The Meijers Committee holds that the proposal is insufficiently substantiated, that it extends the scope of criminal law too far and compromises fundamental rights."
