"Mr President, I would like first of all to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Claudio Fava, and the team from the secretariat that has supported him in his wonderful work. Despite what may be gleaned from the brief speech by the representative of the Council, we do not look to Washington. We look to the European capitals. We look to the Council, in Brussels, waiting for it to commit itself to the truth which has not yet come, to explain to us the why and the how of what we now know.
Because, just like archaeologists who gradually go on digging up small items through small excavations and then put all of that information together to produce a map of a city that had been hidden and the precise whereabouts of which nobody knew, the Commission, with the invaluable support of other people, of NGOs, in cooperation with the Council of Europe etc., has managed to draw up that map, to uncover and bring to light that hidden city, which is a plan designed for the systematic violation of the fundamental rights of the citizens on the theoretical premise of protecting our fundamental rights; we should protect our rights and our security by violating the rights of others. That is the approach our work has been taking.
That is something that could not have happened without the active support or deliberate passivity of the Member States of the European Union. That is our conclusion. That is our moral conviction, and no one will be able to take it away from us, with or without votes.
We are dealing with a great jigsaw puzzle in which it is not sufficient for any State to say that no crime has taken place on their territory, if it turns out, for example, that the role played by that State in this overall plan was to give logistical support to the aircraft so that the people taking part in this great drama could rest beforehand or afterwards.
We are therefore still awaiting coherent explanations from the Council and the Member States so that we may know the truth and guarantee respect for the European Union's fundamental values, for which we are all supposed to be fighting."@en1
