lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the great majority of my group have voted against the Watson report on the European arrest warrant. However, our motives were very different from those of Mr Berlusconi, and that is why I should like to make this contribution, mainly to avoid being tarred with the same brush. In principle, the Group of the Greens are in favour of a European arrest warrant, but only after a number of minimum standards have been put in place in the field of law of criminal procedure, for example with regard to legal aid or to criminal investigation methods. The rationale underlying a European arrest warrant is that all legal systems are more or less the same, and that it really does not matter in which country one is sentenced. That is not yet the case at the moment. If these systems were alike, it would not be so difficult to establish these minimum standards. I know that sooner or later, everyone will support these minimum standards, but our group has made them a condition for a European arrest warrant. As such, this is absolutely and fundamentally a different viewpoint from that adopted by Mr Berlusconi, and it should not be confused with his. Neither should it be confused with a kind of anti-European sentiment. We are in favour of a European arrest warrant, but only when this condition has been met."@en1
