lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am sorry that Graham Watson is not present, because I wish to begin by paying tribute to his work on these two reports, in his capacity as chairman of the Committee on Public Freedoms, Citizens’ Rights, Justice and Home Affairs. As I have inherited this position, I feel, if possible, even more obliged to acknowledge the work that has been undertaken. I agree fully with what he has said, but with one important difference. We are talking about minimum guarantees of procedure as if there were none. There are, and although they are not common, which is the case in many areas, they are equivalent. They are also adequate for the time being. Not having – as European citizens who wish to establish a common area of justice – to become involved in discussing how to improve these guarantees is another matter altogether. We must make a clear distinction between the two issues. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, together with the Socialist Group, will vote against these amendments, not because we are against the issues, as some speakers have claimed, but because we must make it clear that all Member States have minimum guarantees of procedure which are adequate and equivalent. We must, therefore, act on the basis of this trust. We all want to be more ambitious for the future, however. The European Union flies the flag of human rights and guarantees and, therefore, when we establish this area of justice, we shall do so resolutely, in the committee that I chair and in this Parliament, as far as we can in this legislature. We will never consider it to be enough."@en1
