lpv:translated text	"Mr President, being the penultimate speaker – Commissioner Vitorino has the honour of closing the debate – exempts me from expressing many considerations which have been expressed by previous speakers, and they have done so very well. I am only going to make two points. One of them is addressed to those Members who have said that what we are voting on today, this arrest warrant, replaces extradition; that is not the case at all; it accompanies extradition for certain crimes which are particularly odious, such as a terrorist crime, precisely so that the European Union may become more efficient. And I am going to make my second point, Mr President. I believe that if we look back to 1992 when this Parliament voted in favour of the Maastricht Treaty, we will see that there were considerable gaps in the issues of justice and internal affairs within the third pillar. It was a great innovation that the European Union was going to deal with issues which had always been at the heart of the Member States. Very little time has passed since then, practically seven years, since Maastricht entered into force, and nevertheless, what progress has been made! Progress has not just been made in terms of European solidarity on a specific problem, the terrorism of ETA, which is extraordinarily important and which is of fundamental importance politically; but progress has also been made in the construction of Europe. This is the way to move forward together in Europe and to deal with the real concerns of the citizens, as has been said here. Therefore, as well as expressing gratitude for European solidarity, I would like to say that this Watson report – and I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, who has made great efforts – also represents a very important milestone on this journey which we, including all of us here in this European Parliament, are making together in the construction of Europe."@en1
