Abstract

In the fight against financing terrorism, the EU has adopted a wide range of various measures. However, their particular necessity and effectiveness have not often been questioned. Generally speaking, the same goes for their proportionality which, given the effect such measures could have on civil liberties, should be at the heart of any proposed/adopted measure. In this context, the example of asset freezing of those listed on the EU terrorist lists is particularly relevant.
