".
First and foremost, irrespective of the substance and outcome of the discussions on the CIA prisons, I would like to welcome the concern shown by Members of the European Parliament and by Europe’s citizens with regard to the scrupulous respect of human rights, regardless of the context.
Torture is unacceptable and there are no exceptional circumstances to alter this truth. However, I feel the need to make some remarks as long as Romania continues to be referred to in this context. I would like to remind you that so far, accusations have been levelled at us without being backed up by proof. The Martin report is the best example of this approach. It contains accusations against Romania which are both controversial and unfounded.
I would like to point out this precedent for the way in which accusations have been levelled against Romania, because this can perhaps tarnish the image of other European states too. I would like to reiterate that it is unacceptable for the names of Member States like Romania to be freely and constantly bandied about in the context of this debate."@en1
