lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too would like to thank my colleagues, Mr Fava and Mr Coelho, for the work carried out in this committee and for the fact that this work has shown us that extraordinary rendition is part of a mistaken strategy employed in the name of the fight against terrorism. It is a mistaken strategy because it is based on the theory of pre-emptive war and on the erosion of the rule of law. Rather than weakening terrorism, this strategy has fed and radicalised it, thereby contributing to the achievement of the very objectives set by the terrorists. Just a few days ago, following its Guantánamo judgment, the Supreme Court of the United States told us that, between 2001 and 2003, more than half of the prisoners in Guantánamo were taken there from Afghanistan, which means that Europe was the place of transit for over two hundred prisoners, European airports were used for stopovers, and US and NATO bases in Europe were used as outposts. Our committee has also ascertained that there is no doubt that there have been abductions, including the obvious case of Abu Omar. We have investigated the facts in great detail and have ascertained that, as John Bellinger and Condoleezza Rice have said, US intelligence activity has been carried out with the involvement of national governments. John Bellinger and Condoleezza Rice have explicitly stated that there has been no breach of national sovereignty. This should also be mentioned, Mr Gawronski, not just extracts from Mr Sifton’s speeches. I think it has emerged beyond a shadow of a doubt that European governments have aided and abetted the actions of US Intelligence on European territory. An Italian policeman has confessed and today the deputy head of the Sismi, the Italian intelligence service, has been arrested. I think that we need further clarification. The head of the Italian intelligence service, Dr Pollari, either lied to our committee or did not know about the activities of his deputy; each possibility is equally serious. The same applies to Commissioner Frattini, who should clarify this point. At the time of the events, Commissioner Frattini was Minister for Foreign Affairs, so either he did not know, as he told the committee, or he was unaware of the agreements ..."@en1
