"Mr President, I should like to congratulate Mr Fava and the Council of Europe rapporteur, Mr Dick Marty. The investigation to uncover this international parastate must proceed and be extended, despite the reactions of all those who wish to play down and cover up this scandal. I am truly sorry that some fellow Members in this House refuse to see the facts and the data and prefer the path of ideological fanaticism and prejudice, in contrast to their counterparts on the same wing in the Council of Europe.
We have an obligation to seek the truth and we owe it to European citizens and the long tradition of democracy and humanitarianism on our continent. Moreover, experience over recent years has shown that infringements of human rights and shrinking democracy ultimately strengthen rather than combat terrorism.
It is clear from the information that the heads of the secret services knew about the activities of US agents and possibly certain people in positions of responsibility in the governments knew and turned a blind eye. It is not possible for 32 aeroplanes to have made over one thousand flights over five years which no one knew anything about."@en1
