lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, all of this information is overly detailed and convincing, and you too speak in such a convincing manner that it is almost tempting not to believe you. The commitment you have made here to investigate this situation is therefore laudable, but it does not reassure us. We expect the Commission and the Council to act firmly and not to be content with nothing more than fine words or denials by politicians expressed at cocktail parties. We expect genuine action and investigation. Commissioner, on the orders of the public prosecutor, the police on the island of Mallorca are investigating the illegal transportation of prisoners; it has taken great efforts to do so, but nevertheless, all of the police investigations are moving in exactly the same direction as previous journalistic investigations. And all without any support from the United States. I would ask you to demand similar investigations by all of the countries which may allegedly be involved in this situation. I would insist, political denials using vague words about the present, that say nothing about the past and which are simply intended to evade responsibility, are not enough. We want a genuine investigation and a commitment to a police and judicial investigation that provides evidence to prove that there is no truth to these allegations.p It is extremely repugnant to us to see this from a country that has been our ally for a very long time. To see it on European soil, to see centuries of civilisation and moral progress in the fight against crime, or, in this case, against terrorism, renounced is profoundly repugnant to us. Furthermore, Commissioner – and another speaker said this a moment ago – I entirely agree: countries must be innocent until proven guilty. But the fact that they are innocent until proven guilty does not mean that you are not required to investigate. The very credibility of the European Union as an area of freedom, security and justice is at stake. Since that is your responsibility, you cannot rely on explanations given by others. You must take the appropriate measures and also demand that the Council do so."@en1
