EU Counter-Terrorism Law: Pre-emption and the Rule of Law is a
detailed study of EU action to combat terrorism since 11 September
2001 and the implications that action has had for the EU legal
order. It critically examines EU counter-terrorism measures to
ascertain how rule of law principles have been affected in the 'war
on terror'. The book opens with a critical examination of the rule
of law in the EU legal order. It then provides an overview of the
"war on terror" before analysing five key facets of EU
counter-terrorism: the common European definition of terrorism
along with related offences contained in the Framework Decision on
Combating Terrorism; the EU's anti-money laundering and
counter-terrorist finance laws; UN and EU targeted asset-freezing
sanctions; EU data retention measures such as the Data Retention
Directive and the Passenger Name Records agreements; and the
European Arrest Warrant and European Evidence Warrant. The book
argues that EU counter-terrorism is weakening the rule of law and
bypassing safeguards in favour of a system emphasising coercive
control over individual autonomy. It concludes by examining the
prospects for the future as the EU becomes a more powerful security
actor following the Lisbon Treaty and the adoption of the Stockholm
Programme. 'an impressively accurate and alarming analysis' Ms
