"President Barroso, you have made various statements, including the statement this afternoon, about how the EU and its Member States respect fundamental rights and the rule of law, but the inquiry on extraordinary rendition, of which Mr Coelho was the chair and I was the vice-chair, reported prima facie evidence that around a dozen EU and other European countries had colluded in war on terror abuses, such as disappearance and torture. Frankly, I am afraid you gave a rather waffly answer to Mr Coelho.
We believed that the Commission and the Council had not respected Article 6 of the Treaty and we urged them to ascertain the truth about what had happened and to take action if appropriate under Article 7, which means sanctions of human rights abuses. Frankly, there has been no result. This leaves the EU open to the charge of hypocrisy. What will you do now to get full political and legal accountability for European collusion in human rights abuses in the name of the so-called war on terror?"@en1
