lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the events of 11 September were tragic and deeply unforgivable. No one wishes to see them repeated, but it would be almost as tragic to see them exploited for the purposes of violating fundamental human rights and guarantees of legal certainty by which, as EU citizens, we are normally protected. As the minority opinion rightly points out, the agreements between the EU and the United States do not merely contain dubious measures for combating terrorism; the agreements are a slippery slope towards extradition and legal cooperation on criminal matters generally. According to the agreements, European citizens who are alleged to have committed a crime carrying a sentence of at least one year may be extradited to the United States – a country that, as many have pointed out, practises the death penalty. In no way can I support the thinking behind these international agreements, and I am therefore voting against the report, but I should like to call for support for the amendments tabled by the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left."@en1
