lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Watson report uses the issues of the day to accelerate the communitisation of the EU. This is because better coordination between Member States overcomes the problem described to a large extent. It is incomprehensible that the report only refers to the Charter, a political statement, whilst the European Convention on Human Rights, the perfect convention for the protection of our citizens’ rights, is not mentioned in it. Since the US terrorist attacks of 11 September, the EU’s attitude towards the US has been highly critical as well as supportive. The object of our criticism is the new anti-terrorism legislation. Some discretion in this regard would not be out of place. Please do not get me wrong; I am no advocate of trials by military tribunals without the possibility of appeal, and I believe that the USA must reconsider this, but I do wonder how we would have reacted if these attacks had taken place in the EU. Refusing point blank to extradite terrorists to the USA is sending out the wrong signal. It would be more reasonable for the EU to make clear arrangements with the USA about the conditions of the extradition."@en1
