"Mr President, Mrs Lehtomäki, Mr Frattini, honourable Members, ladies and gentlemen, I too wish to thank Mr Fava for all his work on the interim report and others for the excellent work they too have done. When Parliament and we in the Temporary Committee on the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners began our work, I for one did not have very high expectations of what we could achieve, as a lot of the alleged practices had taken place quite a few years ago. I have been pleasantly surprised, however. Our work has produced results aimed at making Europe safer and human rights more secure.
For me as a Social Democrat MEP from Sweden and a proud witch, as someone chose to call us, I am particularly pleased that, on the issues of extraordinary rendition and diplomatic guarantees, we have now reached an agreement and that we are making clear the dividing lines between the fight against terrorism, a humane policy on refugees and respect for human rights, which are also in crisis following the terrorist acts of 11 September 2001 in New York. In this area, the expulsion from Sweden of the Egyptians Mohammed Al Zery and Ahmed Agiza following a decision by the Swedish Government have pointed to solutions of the kind we do not want to see any more of. The CIA’s solutions are unsustainable, both in the short and the long term and for both the EU and the rest of the world.
The committee needs more time. We have learned from the mistakes that have been made and we shall propose measures and safety nets so that we do not end up in similar situations in the future. Europeans expect a better job to be made of sorting out future crises through cooperation between the Council of Europe, all the countries of Europe and ourselves in the European Parliament. Mr Frattini has some interesting thoughts on the security service, necessary future controls on aviation and getting the balance right in combating terrorism."@en1
