lpv:translated text	". Mr President, if it is true that the Americans detain and torture terror suspects on European soil, then this is a grave blow to mutual trust. I do not, however, like the keenness of some people here for serious measures. The United States of America is still the EU Member States’ biggest ally, and nothing has been proven as yet. The Bush administration does leave something to be desired, though, when it comes to the transparency of the detention system; prisoners can be detained for years without the court intervening, and it is also unclear in what ways they are interrogated. I would therefore call on the United States to respect the rule of law. Senator McCain was right to table an amendment in order to define the rules of interrogation more precisely. It would become President Bush if he did not oppose this by using his veto against it. The fight against terror is tough, but the law, as we in the European Union and the United States know it, must be upheld. Together with the US, the EU must find a way in which mutual trust can be strengthened."@en1
