Summary/Abstract: In this article the author tends to find a parallel and relations between the development of antiterrorism efforts of the European Union and it’s care for protecting fundamental rights. While the development of european standards concerning right to privacy and protection of personal data has been constant and consistent, EU’s antiterrorism fight has been developing slowly and discontinuosly, mainly guided by critical events such as large scale terrorist attacks. The decade of peace between 2005 and 2015 has given increase to voices emphasizing human rights problems of antiterrorist measures. After the attacks in Paris, however, they have been sidelined and mass surveillance programmes that were until then almost unimaginable have suddenly gained strong incentives.
