- Summary
- The proposals concerns Non-profit organisations. There are no records on to which extent such organisations are being used in or for terrorist activities. The proposals will create an immense bureaucracy that will create serious obstacles for these organisations and also harm needed social work in the society. The proposals are out of proportions, the detrimental sides and other negative effects have not been recognised. The work is not co-ordinated with the same work in an other international organisation. There are other better legal ways to deal with the problems. The proposals should be turned down and a new work initiated founded on other legal principles, specially those existing dealing with terrorist activities and money laundry for that purpose.
