In this essay the Author reflects about three topics.
Which are the effects of the terrorism of the ordinary time on the European rulemaking and the judicial review?
If has the abstract model of the “law of fear” with its compliance with the precautionary and proportionality criteria been respected by the recent Directive 2017/541 on combatting terrorism?
And finally if have the checks and balances worked well between the European Lawmaker and the Judge concerning to this field?
In conclusion reflection the Author wishes that the European legislator was able to rebalance the regolative measure combining the security with the fundamental rights at the moment entirely stressed on the latter. This shift could be necessary in order to let the European system go back to the legal normality when the state of emergency will be over.
