lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this is an astonishing report. In it there is a yawning gap between the evidence collected and the opinions formulated by the committee. In the report, the committee makes extremely grave accusations, for example, that in Europe ‘inadmissible violations of fundamental human rights have taken place on several occasions’. On the other hand, it can only confirm exactly four cases of the procedure described as the illegal transfer of persons suspected of terrorism. Furthermore, the tone used by the committee varies: on the one hand, it speaks guardedly about some facts, such as in paragraph 12, for example: ‘all the work of the temporary committee so far seems to indicate that European airspace and airports have been used by CIA front companies’. On the other hand, it is categorical in making value judgments such as the one in the above-quoted paragraph 6, where it speaks of violations of fundamental human rights on several occasions, although the evidence gathered does not authorise it to make such statements. No evidence is provided anywhere of use of torture against the suspects, nor is any proof provided of the existence of detention centres in any country where suspects might be held – I mean within the European Union – and, in view of this, we should ask ourselves whether the four cases of rendition of terrorist suspects and several hundred flights by CIA aircraft – and they are something we knew about before the committee started its work – allow the committee to come to such radical conclusions. I get the impression that the committee is building its own virtual view of reality, and instead of taking the occasion to give EU citizens a view of reality is for some reason, undoubtedly political, putting forward its own virtual view as though it were real, and thereby misleading the citizens. This is poor practice, since it serves to undermine the authority of the European Parliament. If the committee carries on like this in the next phase of its work, the prestige of the European Parliament may end up like that of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe."@en1
