06/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - Martin Schulz, the president of the Socialist group of the EP, announced on Tuesday that his group was to hold a major conference on the fight against terrorism this autumn, probably in Amsterdam. Jaime Mayor Oreja (EPP-ED, Spain) told the press of the need to call terrorist organisations "by their name": we have no wish to associate Islamism with terrorism, but we need to know who we are fighting, he said. Monica Frassoni told the press conference of the Greens/EFA group, of which she is co-president, that the group had been horrified to learn that Commissioner Franco Frattini had called for NGOs, which run the risk of being "infiltrated by terrorists", to adopt a "code of conduct".
