"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is clear that there will be debates when it comes to fundamental and inalienable European values such as security and human rights, and when the fine line between them is widened. Paradoxical though it may appear, the different positions expressed this evening did have one thing in common, and that is concern.
The European Commission asked the Bulgarian authorities to provide information so it could check whether eavesdropping devices are being used lawfully. We liberal and socialist MEPs wanted a debate because of our concern with legality. We expressed our opinions to reassure the people who sent us here that we are on the alert for any infringements of their rights. In their statements, my fellow Members from the European People’s Party have shown concern at poor practices and confidence that they will be improved.
I hope that in this united role, we will be able to provoke rapid processes which will restore the normal functions of democracy."@en1
