lpv:translated text	". The Commission’s proposal is not only contrary to Article 308 of the Treaty, but it also disregards elementary legal principles and the basic laws of the Member States. The main reason why I cannot contribute to bringing about this legislation is that the effect of the Commission’s proposal would quite simply be to abolish any form of legal protection. Even suspected criminals are entitled to fair trials. It is this fundamental right that the Commission would have us abolish. The United States has issued the Commission with a list of 27 individuals and organisations. We have not been given any proof of the activities of these 27, not even the slightest explanation of why precisely these 27 should be judged without evidence and without trial. What is being required of us is that we undertake to judge these 27 with blindfolds on – definitively and with no recourse to appeal. We are to wield the rubber stamp here and now and, in classic Dr Strangelove style, shoot first and ask questions afterwards. Are not democratic principles of law precisely what we wish to defend? What will be next in line if we give in now and accept that the end justifies the means?"@en1
