European leaders know full well that the exceptional events since Sept. 11 call for exceptional measures.

His security is to be assured by any and every exceptional measure you care to take.

The government's rationale is simple and direct: in times of war, exceptional measures are necessary to protect the homeland.

I therefore feel that exceptional measures should also be implemented.

I also had occasion to say that Europe has not taken any exceptional measures to combat terrorism.

However, exceptional measures are sometimes necessary to deal with potential threats to national security.

Where we are dealing with potential threats to national security exceptional measures are sometimes necessary.

The economic crisis, the effects of which we are still experiencing, requires exceptional measures, such as State aid.

I agree with adopting exceptional measures in the scenarios already mentioned.

The Commission initially proposed applying exceptional measures for a period of three years.
