The fight to terrorism and its repercussions on safety often involve "practices and regulations" that jeopardise the fundamental right to freedom. "So, do we have to just acknowledge this? Isn’t it high time we realised that the level of civilisation and the quality of a society are measured by the state of health of its justice and the respect of its fundamental freedoms?". This is Pascal André’s comment which opened SirEuropa (online from tonight at old.agensir.it). "The Europe of the Rights of Mankind writes Andre seems to have forgotten it. But now is the time Europe has to regain control of itself". The new issue of the twice-weekly SirEuropa service (in Italian and English) also speaks of the visit that, on the Ccee’s resolve, a delegation of about 30 bishops and representatives of European and US Bishops’ conferences and Church bodies will pay to the Christian peoples and to the Churches of the Holy Land from January 14th to 19th. This year, the visit will get as far as Jordan where the group is due to meet the king of Jordan, Abdullah, for the very first time. A report concerns the European Year of Professional Mobility which has been announced for 2006 by the EU Commission. Finally, since yesterday, some of Sir’s daily releases a selection of the internationally most relevant ones have been translated in real time into English.
