Thank you to the organizers of this workshop and the European Commission for this opportunity to participate in a very timely and important discussion about the impact of September 11 on immigration law and policy in Western Europe and the Euro-Mediterranean region. The pain the attacks caused has only been compounded by the additional toll the response to the attacks has taken on civil liberties, human rights and the rule of law.
