"We find it obvious that we should applaud President Obama’s decision: the decision to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay, to ban torture and illegal interrogations, and to suspend the military trials.
I can, however, assure my fellow Member, who is no longer present, that Portugal and the Socialist Government of Portugal do not feel guilty. The Socialist Government of Portugal did not collaborate with the Bush Administration: quite the contrary. The Portuguese Administration – the Portuguese Government – through the initiative of Minister Amado, has right now opened up the possibility and obligation for the European Union and other democratic countries to accept and receive Guantánamo Bay prisoners who have not been charged. This is what is truly important and this is what must be highlighted as an example for other EU Member States to follow. It is also important for the resolution to be adopted tomorrow by all the parties that make up this House, so that unity might lend the decision more force."@en1
