lpv:translated text	"Mr President, an agreement was reached in Rome yesterday on the European arrest warrant; Italy too will sign it. It is certainly a positive step, but it is no more than the beginning of a long process of trying to set up, at last, a genuine European area of freedom, security and justice. The new European Constitution should lead to harmonisation of criminal law and procedure in our Union. The Member States should work towards a situation in which crimes and penalties do not differ from one place to another. We must all, in short, commit ourselves to establishing fair trials, that is, to having a third judge, allowing evidence to take shape in the course of the trial and to having the prosecuting magistrates separate from the judges. This is not blackmail, Mr Watson; it is not an Italian caprice, as has been suggested in this House; it is the will of Parliament, which, in 1997, voted for the Roth report, which invited the Member States to carry out a genuine reform of justice in favour of a fair trial. That is why so many criticisms levelled by the left against the Italian Government in this House are unfounded and the result of propaganda by a handful of fundamentalist magistrates. Moreover, the foreign press in Italy has recognised this; in this respect, I quote the words of a respected journalist in the Hans Jürgen Fischer, who said, ‘All these charges against the Berlusconi Government seemed quite out of proportion to me.’ It is therefore our duty to reject all the attacks made on the Italian Government by left-wing MEPs who do not understand the situation in Italy and who, beginning with the leader of the Socialist Group, Mr Barón Crespo, have made absolutely unfounded attacks on the Italian Government and on Italy. I repeat, they are attacks that we firmly reject because it is all just propaganda. In short, a lot of fuss has been made about nothing and Parliament has not achieved any results. The results were actually achieved thanks to the action of the Italian Government, which concluded the agreement with Mr Verhofstadt yesterday."@en1
