lpv:translated text	". This House has approved a compromise amendment on the legislative resolutions regarding the Watson report on combating terrorism and the European arrest warrant. Both amendments call upon the Council to apply Article 40 of the Treaty on European Union in cases where unanimity cannot be reached, or in cases when unanimity involves a substantial weakening of the proposal. Unfortunately, a small number of Members – including the Italian Alleanza Nazionale members – have prevented an oral amendment supported by the rapporteur himself from being voted upon; if approved, this amendment would have made Parliament’s political will clearer. In fact, calling upon the Council to vote under Article 40 is to be considered a last resort. We all hope that the Council will be able to achieve unanimity along the lines of the commitments adopted jointly in Ghent and upheld so clearly by Parliament in today’s vote. For our part, as Italian Members, we shall still make every effort to persuade our government to change its position and agree to extend the European arrest procedure to all the crimes included in the European Commission’s proposal and to give up the extradition procedure, which would be a patent violation of the spirit and letter of the commitments unanimously and formally adopted in Ghent and Brussels in the emotional aftermath of the tragic attack on the Twin Towers. I therefore hope that no country will now falter in its commitment to fight terrorism, and I hope that mine, which has always contributed to the progress of the Union, will not find itself isolated. These decisions are all in the hands of the Italian government, because it would also not be acceptable for its veto to jeopardise a whole policy. Hence the timely reference to Article 40 of the Treaty."@en1
