<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"In response to the growth of terrorism in Europe and worldwide, and more particularly following the recent attacks in the USA, Parliament, the Commission and the Council have announced that they will shortly adopt new legislation to combat terrorism.  Yet the Union's existing instruments relating to this subject are already very extensive: a succession of resolutions, recommendations, conventions, declarations, charters etc. have been adopted, in many cases overlapping. During the recent debate on the Watson report in the EP, no fewer than 52 existing documents were cited in the proposal for a recommendation.  Does the Commission intend to do something about this plethora of conventions and declarations in order to establish a clear and effective set of instruments?  Will the Commission streamline and consolidate all these documents?  If so, within what time-frame?"
