"As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together:
Whilst carrying out their work as journalists José Couso, a Spanish citizen (cameraman for the Spanish TV channel Tele 5), Taras Proyuk (Reuters press agency) and Tarek Ayoub (the TV channel Al Jazeera) were killed by the United States’ attack on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad on 8 April 2003.
The US authorities have remained totally silent about this dramatic murder ever since and there have not been any investigations or judicial process.
However, the same authorities have decided to start an investigation, together with the Italian Government, into the unjustified attack by the same forces on 4 March 2005, which caused the death of Nicola Capilari, following the release of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrana.
What steps will the EU take to ensure that an investigation is started, with adequate guarantees of impartiality, to ascertain responsibility for the murder of José Couso and his colleagues, who died whilst carrying out their duties?
Question no 11 by David Hammerstein Mintz ()
On 8 April 2003, as a consequence of attacks by United States forces, José Couso, a Spanish and European citizen working as a cameraman for the Tele 5 station, Taras Protsyuk (Reuters news agency) and Tareq Ayoub (Al Jazeera) died while doing their job of reporting events.
The US authorities have not yet launched any investigation or judicial proceedings in this matter.
However, the US has decided to open an investigation, with Italian involvement, into the unjustified attack carried out by the same forces on 4 March 2005 during the release of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, which caused the death of Nicola Calipari (head of Sismi).
What steps must be taken to ensure that an investigation is carried out which will make it possible properly to establish both criminal responsibility and liability for compensation in relation to the murder of the journalist José Couso and his colleagues while they were carrying out their task of informing the public?
Question no 12 by Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
On 4 March 2005, the freeing of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrana led to the killing of the Italian citizen Nicola Calipar by the US army.
Under pressure from Italian public opinion, the Italian Government and the USA have decided to carry out a joint investigation to attempt to clarify this unhappy event. But the cases of the Spanish Tele 5 cameraman, José Couso, the Ukrainian Reuters cameraman Taras Prosyuk and the Al Jazira television cameraman Tarek Ayoub, who were all killed as a result of an attack carried out by US forces on the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad, have not been the subject of any investigation or court proceedings to date, as far as we know.
Given that José Couso was a European citizen, what steps could be taken on the part of the European Union with a view to carrying out a joint investigation with the US authorities, so as to throw light on what happened and, where appropriate, determine who was responsible?
Question no 13 by Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
On 8 April 2003, US armoured vehicles fired at the 14th floor of the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad, where several journalists covering the war were staying. José Couso, a Spanish journalist, lost his life in the attack, as did two other journalists, Taras Protsyuk and Tareq Ayoub.
Two years on, the US authorities have still to carry out a credible and independent investigation in order to clarify the course of events and the reasons for such meaningless deaths.
What steps does the Council intend to take to secure an investigation and uncover the reasons behind the US attack on the Hotel Palestine on 8 April 2003?
Question no 9 by Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Question no 14 by Jean-Marie Cavada ()
On 8 April 2003 two cameramen, Spaniard José Couso working for the television station Telecinco and Ukrainian Taras Protsyuk working for Reuters news agency, were killed in Baghdad when the American army fired on the Palestine Hotel, where several hundred non-embedded journalists were staying. On the same day, 8 April 2003, Jordanian journalist Tarek Ayoub from the Al-Jazira channel was also killed during an American air raid. According to Reporters Without Borders, the report provided by the American authorities on the circumstances surrounding these tragedies is inadequate. It does not identify those responsible, and conceals the lack of communication between the soldiers who fired on the Palestine Hotel and their superiors with regard to the fact that journalists were present inside the building.
What steps might be taken by the European Union with a view to an independent inquiry being held into the circumstances surrounding the death of José Couso, in order that the culprits are identified and tried and the victim's family receives compensation?

However, the same authorities have agreed to open an investigation, with Italian involvement, in relation to the unjustified attack carried out by the same forces when the Italian and European citizen Giuliana Sgrena was freed on Friday, 4 March 2005.

"Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, behandler vi under ét
Til dato har de amerikanske myndigheder opretholdt en total tavshed om disse alvorlige drab og har ikke gennemført nogen form for efterforskning eller retssag.
Dog har de samme myndigheder besluttet at indlede en efterforskning sammen med de italienske myndigheder af de amerikanske styrkers umotiverede angreb den 4. marts 2005 i forbindelse med befrielsen af den italienske journalist Giuliana Sgrena, som kostede Nicola Capilari livet.
Hvilke foranstaltninger kan EU gennemføre for at sikre, at der indledes en efterforskning med de nødvendige garantier for upartiskhed med henblik på at klarlægge ansvaret for drabet på José Couso og hans kolleger, der omkom under udøvelsen af deres hverv som formidlere af information?
spørgsmål nr. 11 af David Hammerstein Mintz ()
Som følge af de amerikanske styrkers angreb den 8. april 2003 mistede José Couso (spansk og europæisk statsborger og kameramand for tv-kanalen Tele 5), Taras Protsyuk (Reuters Bureau) og Tareq Ayoub (tv-kanalen Al-Jazeera) livet under udøvelsen af deres job som nyhedsformidlere.
De amerikanske myndigheder har stadig ikke indledt nogen form for undersøgelse eller retssag i den forbindelse.
Til gengæld har USA besluttet, at der skal indledes en undersøgelse med italiensk deltagelse af de amerikanske styrkers ubegrundede overgreb den 4. marts i år under frigivelsen af den italienske journalist Guiliana Sgrena, som endte med at koste chefen for Sismi, Nicola Calipari, livet.
Hvilke skridt skal der tages for at sikre, at der iværksættes en undersøgelse, som gør det muligt på behørig vis at fastslå, hvem der bærer såvel det strafferetligesom det erstatningsmæssige ansvar for mordet på journalisten José Couso og dennes kolleger under udøvelsen af deres job?
spørgsmål nr. 12 af Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
spørgsmål nr. 9 af Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Den 4. marts 2005 dræbte de amerikanske styrker den italienske statsborger Nicola Calipari i forbindelse med frigivelsen af den italienske journalist Giuliana Sgrena.
Efter pres fra den italienske befolkning har den italienske regering og De Forenede Stater besluttet i fællesskab at indlede en undersøgelse for at finde frem til årsagerne til denne triste hændelse. I modsætning hertil er der, så vidt vi på nuværende tidspunkt er orienteret, ikke indledt nogen undersøgelse eller retssag i forbindelse med det, der skete, da den spanske kameramand for tv-kanalen Tele 5 José Couso, den ukrainske kameramand for Reuters Bureau Taras Prosyuk og kameramanden for tv-kanalen Al-Jazeera Tarek Ayoub blev dræbt som følge af det angreb, amerikanske styrker rettede mod Hotel Palestine i Baghdad.
I betragtning af at José Couso var europæisk statsborger, hvilke foranstaltninger kan der da træffes fra Den Europæiske Unions side med henblik på sammen med de amerikanske myndigheder at indlede en undersøgelse for at få afklaret omstændighederne omkring denne sag og i givet fald placeret ansvaret herfor?
spørgsmål nr. 13 af Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Den 8. april 2003 beskød amerikanske pansrede mandskabsvogne 14. etage i Hotel Palæstina i Baghdad, hvor adskillige krigskorrespondenter befandt sig. Den spanske journalist, José Couso, overlevede ikke dette angreb, og to andre journalister ved navn Taras Protsyuk og Tareq Ayoub omkom ligeledes.
Her to år senere har de amerikanske myndigheder endnu ikke iværksat nogen pålidelig og uafhængig undersøgelse heraf for dels at få opklaret, hvad der skete, og dels finde frem til årsagerne til disse absurde drab.
Hvad agter Rådet at gøre for at kræve iværksættelse af en undersøgelse og opklaring af årsagerne til USA's angreb på Hotel Palæstina den 8. april 2003?

spørgsmål nr. 14 af Jean-Marie Cavada ()
Den 8. marts 2003 blev to kameramænd, spanieren José Couso fra tv-kanalen Telecinco og ukraineren Taras Protsyuk fra Reuters Bureau, dræbt i Baghdad af skud affyret af den amerikanske hær mod Hotel Palestine, hvor flere hundrede civile journalister opholdt sig. Samme dag blev den jordanske journalist Tarek Ayoub fra Al-Jazeera-kanalen ligeledes dræbt under et amerikansk luftangreb. Ifølge Journalister uden Grænser er den rapport, som de amerikanske myndigheder har udarbejdet om omstændighederne ved disse ulykkelige begivenheder, ikke fyldestgørende. Den udpeger ikke de ansvarlige og forsøger at sløre den utilstrækkelige kommunikation mellem de soldater, der skød mod Hotel Palestine, og deres overordnede med hensyn til tilstedeværelsen af journalister inde i bygningen.
Hvilke foranstaltninger kan Den Europæiske Union træffe med henblik på at få gennemført en uafhængig undersøgelse om omstændighederne ved José Cousos død, således at de skyldige kan blive fundet og retsforfulgt og ofrets familie opnå erstatning?
Den 8. april 2003 omkom den spanske statsborger, José Couso, (kameramand for den spanske tv-station Tele 5), Taras Prosyuk (Reuters) og Tarek Ayoub (tv-stationen Al-Jazeera) under udøvelsen af deres arbejde som nyhedsformidlere under et angreb, som de amerikanske styrker gennemførte på Hotel Palæstina i Baghdad.
Til dato har de amerikanske myndigheder ikke gennemført nogen form for efterforskning eller retssag.

Hvilke foranstaltninger bør EU gennemføre for at sikre, at der indledes en efterforskning med de nødvendige strafferetlige garantier og garantier for erstatningsansvar med henblik på at klarlægge ansvaret for drabet på EU-borgeren José Couso og hans kolleger, der omkom under udøvelsen af deres hverv som formidlere af information?

"Da sie dasselbe Thema betreffen, werden die folgenden Anfragen gemeinsam behandelt:
Am 8. April 2003 starben bei der Ausübung ihrer Informationsarbeit José Couso, spanischer Bürger (Kameramann des spanischen Fernsehsenders Telecinco), Taras Prosyuk (Agentur Reuters) und Tarek Ayoub (Fernsehsender Al Jazeera) infolge eines Angriffs der amerikanischen Streitkräfte gegen das Hotel Palestine in Bagdad.
Bis zum heutigen Tag haben die US-Behörden absolutes Stillschweigen im Zusammenhang mit dieser dramatischen Ermordung gewahrt, ohne irgendwelche Nachforschungen angestellt noch einen Gerichtsprozess eingeleitet zu haben.
Jedoch haben dieselben Behörden beschlossen, zusammen mit der italienischen Regierung Ermittlungen über den ungerechtfertigten Angriff anzustellen, den dieselben amerikanischen Streitkräfte am 4. März 2005 unternommen haben, um die italienische Journalistin Giuliana Sgrena zu befreien, und bei dem Nicola Capilari starb.
Welche Maßnahmen kann die EU ergreifen, um zu erreichen, dass Ermittlungen mit ausreichenden Garantien der Unparteilichkeit angestellt werden, um sämtliche Verantwortlichkeiten im Zusammenhang mit dem Mord zu klären, dem José Couso und seine Kollegen, die bei der Erfüllung ihres Informationsauftrags ums Leben kamen, zum Opfer gefallen sind.
Anfrage Nr. 11 von David Hammerstein Mintz ()
Am 8. April 2003 starben bei der Ausübung ihrer Informationsarbeit José Couso, spanischer und europäischer Bürger (Kameramann des spanischen Fernsehsenders Tele 5), Taras Protsyuk (Agentur Reuters) und Tarek Ayoub (Fernsehsender Al Jazeera) infolge von Angriffen der amerikanischen Streitkräfte.
Zu diesem Fall wurden durch die US-Behörden weder Nachforschungen angestellt noch irgendein Gerichtsverfahren eingeleitet.
Aufgrund des ungerechtfertigten Angriffs durch dieselben Streitkräfte am 4. März 2005 während der Befreiung der italienischen Journalistin Giuliana Sgrena, die mit dem Tod von Nicola Capilari (Chef des italienischen Geheimdienstes Sismi) endete, haben die USA sehr wohl beschlossen, ein Ermittlungsverfahren einzuleiten, in das Italien einbezogen werden soll.
Welche Maßnahmen sollten daher ergriffen werden, um Ermittlungen zu gewährleisten, die es ermöglichen, sowohl die strafrechtliche Verantwortung als auch die Zuständigkeit für Entschädigungen in Bezug auf die Ermordung des Journalisten José Couso und seiner Kollegen, während sie ihre Informationstätigkeit ausübten, angemessen festzustellen?
Anfrage Nr. 12 von Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
Anlässlich der Befreiung der italienischen Journalistin Giuliana Sgrena töteten die amerikanischen Streitkräfte am 4. März 2005 den italienischen Staatsangehörigen Nicola Calipari.
Auf Druck der italienischen Bürger haben die italienische Regierung und die Vereinigten Staaten beschlossen, gemeinsam Ermittlungen anzustellen, um diesen traurigen Vorfall aufzuklären. Dagegen ist der Fall des spanischen Kameramanns von Tele 5, José Couso, des ukrainischen Kameramanns der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters, Taras Protsyuk, und des Kameramanns des Fernsehsenders Al Dschasira, Tarek Ayoub, die bei einem Angriff der amerikanischen Streitkräfte auf das Hotel Palestine in Bagdad starben, nach heutigem Kenntnisstand weder Gegenstand von Ermittlungen noch von einem Gerichtsverfahren gewesen.
Bei José Couso handelte es sich um einen Europäer. Welche Maßnahmen kann die Europäische Union im Hinblick auf gemeinsame Ermittlungen mit den US-amerikanischen Behörden unternehmen, um den Sachverhalt aufzuklären und gegebenenfalls die möglichen Verantwortlichkeiten zu ermitteln?
Anfrage Nr. 13 von Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Am 8. April 2003 beschossen amerikanische Panzer das 14. Stockwerk des Hotels Palästina in Bagdad, wo sich mehrere Journalisten aufhielten, die über die damaligen Ereignisse Bericht erstatteten. Der spanische Journalist José Couso überlebte diesen Angriff nicht. Zwei weitere Journalisten, Taras Protsyuk und Tareq Ayoub, kamen ebenfalls dabei ums Leben.
Zwei Jahre später haben die US-Behörden noch immer keine glaubwürdigen und unabhängigen Ermittlungen zur Aufklärung der Ereignisse und der Ursachen dieser absurden Todesfälle durchgeführt.
Was gedenkt der Rat zu Unternehmen, um Ermittlungen einzufordern und die Gründe für den Angriff des US-Militärs auf das Hotel Palästina am 8. April 2003 aufzuklären?
Anfrage Nr. 9 von Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Anfrage Nr. 14 von Jean-Marie Cavada ()
Am 8. April 2003 wurden zwei Kameramänner, der Spanier José Couso von Fernsehsenders Telecinco und der Ukrainer Taras Protsyuk von der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters, in Bagdad durch einen Angriff der amerikanischen Armee auf das Palestine Hotel, wo mehrere Hundert nicht eingebettete Journalisten untergebracht waren, getötet. Ebenfalls am 8. April 2003 wurde der jordanische Journalist Tarek Ayoub vom Sender Al-Dschasira während eines amerikanischen Luftangriffs getötet. Nach Angaben der Organisation „Reporter ohne Grenzen“ war der von den amerikanischen Behörden veröffentliche Bericht über die Umstände dieser dramatischen Vorfälle unzureichend. Die Verantwortlichen werden darin nicht genannt, und die mangelnde Kommunikation zwischen den Militärs, die das Palestine Hotel beschossen, und ihren Vorgesetzten in Bezug auf die Anwesenheit von Journalisten innerhalb des Gebäudes wurde verschleiert.
Welche Maßnahmen kann die Europäische Union in Betracht ziehen, damit eine unabhängige Untersuchung der Umstände, die zum Tod von José Couso geführt haben, eingeleitet wird, um so die Schuldigen zu ermitteln und zu verurteilen und die Familie des Opfers zu entschädigen?
Am 8. April 2003 starben während der Ausübung ihrer Informationstätigkeit José Couso, spanischer und europäischer Bürger, Kameramann des Sendes Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (Agentur Reuters) und Tarek Ayoub (Fernsehsender Al Jazeera) durch Angriffe der amerikanischen Streitkräfte.
Bis heute haben die US-Behörden weder Nachforschungen angestellt noch einen Gerichtsprozess angestrengt. Jedoch haben sich dieselben Behörden einverstanden erklärt, mit italienischer Beteiligung Ermittlungen aufzunehmen zu dem ungerechtfertigten Angriff derselben Streitkräfte vom Freitag, 4. März, um die italienische und europäische Bürgerin Giuliana Sgrena zu befreien.
Welche Maßnahmen müssen ergriffen werden, um zu erreichen, dass Ermittlungen mit ausreichenden Garantien eingeleitet werden, die die strafrechtliche Verantwortung und die Zuständigkeit für Entschädigungen in Bezug auf die Ermordung des europäischen Bürgers José Couso sowie seiner bei der Erfüllung ihrer Informationspflicht ums Leben gekommenen Kollegen klären können?
Anfrage Nr. 10 von Willy Meyer Pleite ()"@de9
"Καθόσον αναφέρονται στο ίδιο θέμα, οι ακόλουθες ερωτήσεις θα εξεταστούν από κοινού:
Στις 8 Απριλίου του 2003, ύστερα από επίθεση που εξαπέλυσαν οι αμερικανικές δυνάμεις κατά του ξενοδοχείου Palestine στη Βαγδάτη, έχασαν τη ζωή τους, κατά την άσκηση του δημοσιογραφικού τους έργου, ο Ισπανός Χοσέ Κούσο (εικονολήπτης του ισπανικού τηλεοπτικού καναλιού Tele 5), ο Τάρας Πρότσιουκ (του Πρακτορείου Ρόιτερς) και ο Τάρεκ Αγιούμπ (του τηλεοπτικού καναλιού Αλ Τζαζίρα).
Έως σήμερα, οι αρχές των ΗΠΑ διατήρησαν απόλυτη σιωπή ως προς τη δραματική αυτή δολοφονική ενέργεια, δίχως να έχουν πραγματοποιήσει κάποια έρευνα ή να έχουν κινήσει κάποια δικαστική διαδικασία.
Ωστόσο, οι ίδιες οι αρχές αποφάσισαν να διεξαγάγουν έρευνα σε συνεργασία με την ιταλική κυβέρνηση ως προς την αδικαιολόγητη επίθεση που πραγματοποίησαν οι ίδιες ένοπλες αμερικανικές δυνάμεις στις 4 Μαρτίου του 2005, με αφορμή την απελευθέρωση της Ιταλίδας δημοσιογράφου Τζουλιάνα Σγκρένα, προκαλώντας τον θάνατο του Νικόλα Καλιπάρι.
Τι μέτρα προτίθεται να λάβει η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, ώστε να προωθήσει τη διεξαγωγή μιας έρευνας που θα διέπεται από απόλυτη αμεροληψία, με στόχο την εξακρίβωση όλων των ευθυνών που σχετίζονται με τη δολοφονία, θύματα της οποίας υπήρξαν ο Χοσέ Κούσο και οι συνάδελφοί του που σκοτώθηκαν κατά την εκπλήρωση των δημοσιογραφικών τους καθηκόντων;
Ερώτηση αριθ.11 του κ. David Hammerstein Mintz ()
Στις 8 Απριλίου του 2003, ως αποτέλεσμα των επιθέσεων των αμερικανικών δυνάμεων, έχασαν τη ζωή τους ενώ ασκούσαν το δημοσιογραφικό έργο τους, ο Χοσέ Κόουσο, ισπανός και ευρωπαίος πολίτης, εικονολήπτης στο τηλεοπτικό κανάλι Tele 5, ο Τάρας Πρότσιουκ (του Πρακτορείου Ρόιτερς) και ο Τάρεκ Αγιούμπ (του τηλεοπτικού καναλιού Αλ Τζαζίρα).
Οι αμερικανικές αρχές δεν έχουν ακόμη διεξαγάγει έρευνα, ούτε έχουν ξεκινήσει κάποια δικαστική διαδικασία, σχετικά με το γεγονός αυτό.
Ωστόσο, μετά την αναίτια επίθεση των ίδιων δυνάμεων στις 4 Μαρτίου, κατά τη διάρκεια της απελευθέρωσης της ιταλίδας δημοσιογράφου Τζουλιάνα Σγκρένα, που είχε ως αποτέλεσμα τον θάνατο του Νικόλα Καλιπάρι, αρχηγού των ιταλικών μυστικών υπηρεσιών στο Ιράκ, οι ΗΠΑ αποφάσισαν να διεξαγάγουν έρευνα, στην οποία θα συμμετέχουν και οι ιταλικές αρχές.
Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα ανωτέρω, ποια μέτρα πρέπει να ληφθούν ώστε να εξασφαλισθεί η διεξαγωγή μιας έρευνας που θα επιτρέψει να καταλογισθούν τόσο οι ποινικές ευθύνες, όσο και η ευθύνη αποζημίωσης, σε σχέση με τον φόνο του Χοσέ Κόουσο και των συναδέλφων του κατά τη διάρκεια της άσκησης του δημοσιογραφικού έργου τους;
Ερώτηση αριθ.12 του κ. Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
Στις 4 Μαρτίου 2005 εξαιτίας της απελευθέρωσης της Ιταλίδας δημοσιογράφου Giuliana Sgrana, ο αμερικανικός στρατός σκότωσε τον Ιταλό πολίτη Nicola Calipari.
Κάτω από την πίεση των Ιταλών πολιτών, η Iταλική Kυβέρνηση και οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες αποφάσισαν να ερευνήσουν από κοινού για να προσπαθήσουν να διαλευκάνουν το θλιβερό αυτό συμβάν. Αντιθέτως, για τις περιπτώσεις των εικονοληπτών του ισπανικού καναλιού Tele 5 José Couso, του Ουκρανού εικονολήπτη του πρακτορείου Ρόιτερς Taras Prosyuk και του εικονολήπτη του τηλεοπτικού καναλιού Αλ Τζαζίρα Tarek Ayoub, που σκοτώθηκαν σε επίθεση των αμερικανικών δυνάμεων κατά του ξενοδοχείου Παλαιστίνη στη Βαγδάτη, δεν έγινε καμιά ανάκριση και δεν κινήθηκε κανενός είδους δικαστική διαδικασία μέχρι σήμερα.
Δεδομένου ότι ο José Couso ήταν Ευρωπαίος πολίτης, ποια μέτρα μπορούν να ληφθούν εκ μέρους της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης για τη δρομολόγηση έρευνας με τις αρχές των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών για να διαλευκανθεί το έγκλημα και να αποδοθούν οι ενδεχόμενες ευθύνες;
Ερώτηση αριθ.13 του κ. Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Στις 8 Απριλίου 2003, τεθωρακισμένα οχήματα των ΗΠΑ άνοιξαν πυρ κατά του 14ου ορόφου του ξενοδοχείου Παλαιστίνη στη Βαγδάτη, όπου βρίσκονταν διάφοροι δημοσιογράφοι οι οποίοι έκαναν ανταποκρίσεις. Ο José Couso, ισπανός δημοσιογράφος, δεν επέζησε αυτής της επίθεσης. Υπό τις ίδιες συνθήκες πέθαναν άλλοι δύο δημοσιογράφοι, οι Taras Protsyuk και Tareq Ayoub.
Δύο χρόνια αργότερα, οι αρχές των ΗΠΑ δεν έχουν διεξαγάγει καμία αξιόπιστη και ανεξάρτητη έρευνα για να φωτιστούν τα γεγονότα και οι αιτίες των παράλογων αυτών θανάτων.
Τι προτίθεται να πράξει το Συμβούλιο για να ικανοποιηθεί η απαίτηση διεξαγωγής έρευνας και να διαλευκανθούν οι αιτίες της επίθεσης των ΗΠΑ κατά του ξενοδοχείου Παλαιστίνη στις 8.4.2003;
Ερώτηση αριθ.9 του κ. Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Ερώτηση αριθ.14 του κ. Jean-Marie Cavada ()
Στις 8 Απριλίου 2003, δύο κάμεραμάν, ο Ισπανός José Couso, της τηλεόρασης Telecino και ο Ουκρανός Taras Protsyuk, του πρακτορείου Reuters, σκοτώθηκαν στη Βαγδάτη από βολή του αμερικανικού στρατού εναντίον του Ξενοδοχείου «Παλαιστίνη» στο οποίο στεγάζονταν πολλές εκατοντάδες μη ενσωματωμένων δημοσιογράφων. Την ίδια αυτή ημερομηνία, βρήκε επίσης τον θάνατο ο ιορδανός δημοσιογράφος Tarek Ayoub, της Al-Jazira, κατά τη διάρκεια αμερικανικής αεροπορικής επίθεσης. Σύμφωνα με τον οργανισμό «Δημοσιογράφοι χωρίς σύνορα», η έκθεση που υπέβαλαν οι αμερικανικές αρχές σχετικά με τις συνθήκες των εν λόγω δραμάτων, είναι ανεπαρκής, δεδομένου ότι δεν εντοπίζει τους υπεύθυνους και αποσιωπά την έλλειψη επικοινωνίας μεταξύ των στρατιωτικών που έβαλαν κατά του Ξενοδοχείου «Παλαιστίνη» και των ανωτέρων τους όσον αφορά την παρουσία δημοσιογράφων στο εσωτερικό του κτηρίου.
Σε τι ενέργειες θα μπορούσε να προβεί η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, προκειμένου να διεξαχθεί ανεξάρτητη έρευνα σχετικά με τις συνθήκες του θανάτου του José Couso, ώστε να γίνουν γνωστοί και να δικαστούν οι υπεύθυνοι, αφετέρου δε να αποζημιωθεί η οικογένεια του θύματος;
Στις 8 Απριλίου του 2003, ως αποτέλεσμα των επιθέσεων που εξαπέλυσαν οι αμερικανικές δυνάμεις, έχασαν τη ζωή τους κατά τη διάρκεια άσκησης του δημοσιογραφικού τους έργου, ο Χοσέ Κούσο, Ισπανός και Ευρωπαίος πολίτης, εικονολήπτης στο τηλεοπτικό κανάλι Tele 5, ο Τάρας Πρότσιουκ (του Πρακτορείου Ρόιτερς) και ο Τάρεκ Αγιούμπ (του τηλεοπτικού καναλιού Αλ Τζαζίρα).
Έως σήμερα, οι αρχές των ΗΠΑ δεν έχουν πραγματοποιήσει κάποια έρευνα ούτε έχουν κινήσει κάποια δικαστική διαδικασία. Ωστόσο, οι ίδιες οι αρχές δέχτηκαν να διεξαγάγουν έρευνα με τη συμμετοχή της Ιταλίας, σχετικά με την αδικαιολόγητη επίθεση που πραγματοποιήθηκε από τις ίδιες ένοπλες δυνάμεις, με αφορμή την απελευθέρωση της Ιταλίδας και πολίτη της ΕΕ Τζουλιάνα Σγκρένα, την Παρασκευή 4 Μαρτίου.
Τι μέτρα πρέπει να ληφθούν, ώστε να επιτευχθεί η διεξαγωγή μιας έρευνας που θα διέπεται από απόλυτη αμεροληψία, με στόχο την εξακρίβωση των ποινικών ευθυνών και των ευθυνών αποζημίωσης που σχετίζονται με τη δολοφονία του Ευρωπαίου πολίτη Χοσέ Κούσο, καθώς και με τους συναδέλφους του που σκοτώθηκαν κατά την εκτέλεση των δημοσιογραφικών τους καθηκόντων;
Ερώτηση αριθ.10 του κ. Willy Meyer Pleite ()"@el10
"Por tratarse de asuntos semejantes, las preguntas siguientes recibirán una respuesta conjunta.
El pasado 8 de abril de 2003, en el ejercicio de su labor informativa, fallecían como consecuencia de un ataque perpetrado por las fuerzas estadounidenses contra el hotel Palestina en Bagdad, José Couso, ciudadano español (cámara de la cadena española Tele 5), Taras Prosyuk (Agencia Reuters) y Tarek Ayoub (cadena de televisión Al Yazira).
Hasta el día de hoy, las autoridades de los EE.UU. han mantenido el más absoluto silencio en torno a este dramático asesinato, sin haber realizado ninguna investigación ni proceso judicial.
Sin embargo, las mismas autoridades han decidido iniciar una investigación conjuntamente con el Gobierno italiano, sobre el ataque injustificado realizado por las mismas fuerzas armadas estadounidenses, el 4 de marzo de 2005, con motivo de la liberación de la periodista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, causando la muerte de Nicola Capilari.
¿Qué medidas puede adoptar la UE para lograr que se abra una investigación, con las suficientes garantías de imparcialidad, con el objeto de depurar todas las responsabilidades derivadas del asesinato del que han sido víctimas José Couso y sus compañeros fallecidos en el cumplimiento de su deber de información?
Pregunta nº 11 formulada por David Hammerstein Mintz ()
El 8 de abril de 2003, como consecuencia de los ataques por las fuerzas estadounidenses fallecieron, mientras ejercían su labor informativa, José Couso, ciudadano español y europeo (cámara de la cadena Tele 5), Taras Protsyuk (agencia Reuters) y Tareq Ayoub (cadena Al Yazira).
A este respecto, aún no se ha realizado investigación o proceso judicial alguno por parte de las autoridades estadounidenses.
Sin embargo, con motivo del injustificado ataque a cargo de las mismas fuerzas, el pasado 4 de marzo, durante la liberación de la periodista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, y que acabó con la vida de Nicola Calipari (jefe del Sismi), EE.UU. sí ha decidido abrir una investigación, que contará con participación italiana.
Por todo ello, ¿cuáles deben ser las medidas a adoptar con objeto de asegurar una investigación que permita establecer adecuadamente tanto las responsabilidades penales como indemnizatorias en relación al asesinato del periodista José Couso y sus compañeros cuando ejercían su labor informativa?
Pregunta nº 12 formulada por Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
El 4 de marzo de 2005, con motivo de la liberación de la periodista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, el ejército de los Estados Unidos mató al ciudadano italiano Nicola Calipari.
Ante la presión de la ciudadanía italiana, el Gobierno italiano y los Estados Unidos han decidido investigar conjuntamente para tratar de aclarar este triste suceso. Por contra, el caso de José Couso, cámara español de Tele 5; de Taras Prosyuk, cámara ucraniano de la Agencia Reuters, y de Tarek Ayub, cámara de la cadena de televisión Al Yazira, que fallecieron como consecuencia de un ataque perpetrado por las fuerzas estadounidenses contra el Hotel Palestina en Bagdad, no ha sido objeto de ninguna investigación ni proceso judicial del que tengamos conocimiento hasta el momento.
Dado que José Couso era un ciudadano europeo, ¿qué medidas pueden adoptarse por parte de la Unión Europea de cara a una investigación conjunta con las autoridades estadounidenses, a fin de esclarecer los hechos y, en su caso, depurar las posibles responsabilidades?
Pregunta nº 13 formulada por Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
El 8 de abril de 2003, blindados norteamericanos dispararon contra el piso 14 del Hotel Palestina, en Bagdad, donde se encontraban varios periodistas que transmitían los diferentes sucesos. José Couso, periodista español, no sobrevivió a esa agresión. En las mismas circunstancias fallecieron otros 2 periodistas, Taras Protsyuk y Tareq Ayoub.
Dos años más tarde, las autoridades de los EE.UU. no han llevado a cabo ninguna investigación fiable e independiente para aclarar los sucesos y las causas de tales muertes absurdas.
¿Qué piensa hacer el Consejo para exigir una investigación y esclarecer las razones del ataque estadounidense al Hotel Palestina del 8 de abril de 2003?
Pregunta nº 9 formulada por Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Pregunta nº 14 formulada por Jean-Marie Cavada ()
El 8 de abril de 2003, dos cámaras, el español José Couso, de la cadena de televisión Telecinco, y el ucraniano Taras Protsyuk, de la agencia Reuters, murieron en Bagdad a causa de los disparos del ejército estadounidense contra el hotel Palestine, en el que se alojaban varios centenares de periodistas no incorporados. Ese mismo 8 de abril de 2003, el periodista jordano Tarek Ayoub, de la cadena Al-Jazira, murió también durante un bombardeo aéreo del ejército estadounidense. La organización Reporteros sin Fronteras considera insuficiente el informe presentado por las autoridades estadounidenses sobre las circunstancias en que se produjeron estos dramas. El informe no identifica a los responsables y oculta la falta de comunicación entre los militares que dispararon contra el hotel Palestine y sus superiores jerárquicos en cuanto a la presencia de periodistas en el interior del hotel.
¿Qué medidas podría adoptar la Unión Europea para que se lleve a cabo una investigación independiente de las circunstancias de la muerte de José Couso que permita identificar y juzgar a los culpables e indemnizar a la familia de la víctima?
El 8 de abril de 2003, como consecuencia de los ataques de las fuerzas estadounidenses, José Couso, ciudadano español y europeo que trabajaba como cámara para el canal de televisión Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (de la agencia de noticias Reuters) y Tareq Ayoub (Al Yazira) murieron mientras realizaban su trabajo de reporteros de noticias.
Hasta ahora, las autoridades de Estados Unidos no han puesto en marcha ninguna investigación ni procedimientos judiciales. Sin embargo, las mismas autoridades han aceptado abrir una investigación, con participación italiana, en relación con el ataque injustificado llevado a cabo por las mismas fuerzas cuando el viernes, 4 de marzo de 2005, se liberó a la ciudadana italiana y europea Giuliana Sgrena.
¿Qué medidas deben tomarse para asegurar que se lleva a cabo una investigación con garantías suficientes para aclarar quién carga con la responsabilidad penal y quién se responsabiliza de pagar la indemnización en relación con el asesinato del ciudadano europeo José Couso y de sus colegas periodistas, quienes murieron mientras cumplían con su cometido de informar al público?

"As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together:
The US authorities have remained totally silent about this dramatic murder ever since and there have not been any investigations or judicial process.
However, the same authorities have decided to start an investigation, together with the Italian government, into the unjustified attack by the same forces on 4 March 2005, which caused the death of Nicola Capilari, following the release of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrana.
What steps will the EU take to ensure that an investigation is started, with adequate guarantees of impartiality, to ascertain responsibility for the murder of José Couso and his colleagues, who died whilst carrying out their duties?
Question no 11 by David Hammerstein Mintz ()
On 8 April 2003, as a consequence of attacks by United States forces, José Couso, a Spanish and European citizen working as a cameraman for the Tele 5 station, Taras Protsyuk (Reuters news agency) and Tareq Ayoub (Al Jazeera) died while doing their job of reporting events.
The US authorities have not yet launched any investigation or judicial proceedings in this matter.
However, the US has decided to open an investigation, with Italian involvement, into the unjustified attack carried out by the same forces on 4 March 2005 during the release of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, which caused the death of Nicola Calipari (head of Sismi).

Question no 12 by Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
Question no 9 by Enrique Barón Crespo ()
On 4 March 2005, the freeing of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrana led to the killing of the Italian citizen Nicola Calipar by the US army.
Under pressure from Italian public opinion, the Italian Government and the USA have decided to carry out a joint investigation to attempt to clarify this unhappy event. But the cases of the Spanish Tele 5 cameraman, José Couso, the Ukrainian Reuters cameraman Taras Prosyuk and the Al Jazira television cameraman Tarek Ayoub, who were all killed as a result of an attack carried out by US forces on the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad, have not been the subject of any investigation or court proceedings to date, as far as we know.
Given that José Couso was a European citizen, what steps could be taken on the part of the European Union with a view to carrying out a joint investigation with the US authorities, so as to throw light on what happened and, where appropriate, determine who was responsible?
Question no 13 by Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
On 8 April 2003, US armoured vehicles fired at the 14th floor of the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad, where several journalists covering the war were staying. José Couso, a Spanish journalist, lost his life in the attack, as did two other journalists, Taras Protsyuk and Tareq Ayoub.
Two years on, the US authorities have still to carry out a credible and independent investigation in order to clarify the course of events and the reasons for such meaningless deaths.
What steps does the Council intend to take to secure an investigation and uncover the reasons behind the US attack on the Hotel Palestine on 8 April 2003?
Question no 14 by Jean-Marie Cavada ()
On 8 April 2003 two cameramen, Spaniard José Couso working for the television station Telecinco and Ukrainian Taras Protsyuk working for Reuters news agency, were killed in Baghdad when the American army fired on the Palestine Hotel, where several hundred non-embedded journalists were staying. On the same day, 8 April 2003, Jordanian journalist Tarek Ayoub from the Al-Jazira channel was also killed during an American air raid. According to Reporters Without Borders, the report provided by the American authorities on the circumstances surrounding these tragedies is inadequate. It does not identify those responsible, and conceals the lack of communication between the soldiers who fired on the Palestine Hotel and their superiors with regard to the fact that journalists were present inside the building.
What steps might be taken by the European Union with a view to an independent inquiry being held into the circumstances surrounding the death of José Couso, in order that the culprits are identified and tried and the victim's family receives compensation?
On 8 April 2003, as a consequence of attacks by United States forces, José Couso, a Spanish and European citizen working as a cameraman for the Tele 5 station, Taras Protsyuk (Reuters news agency) and Tareq Ayoub (Al Jazeera) died while doing their job of reporting events.

However, the same authorities have agreed to open an investigation, with Italian involvement, in relation to the unjustified attack carried out by the same forces when the Italian and European citizen Giuliana Sgrena was freed on Friday, 4 March 2005.

Question no 10 by Willy Meyer Pleite ()
Whilst carrying out their work as journalists José Couso, a Spanish citizen (cameraman for the Spanish TV channel Tele 5), Taras Proyuk (Reuters press agency) and Tarek Ayoub (the TV channel Al Jazeera) were killed by the United States’ attack on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad on 8 April 2003."@et5
"Koska seuraavat kysymykset käsittelevät samaa aihetta, niihin vastataan yhdessä:
Huhtikuun 8. päivänä 2003 kuolivat työtehtävissään espanjan kansalainen José Couso (espanjalaisen Tele 5 -kanavan kameramies), Taras Prosyuk (uutistoimisto Reuters) ja Tarek Ayoub (televisiokanava Al Jazeera). Kuolemat olivat seurausta hyökkäyksestä, jonka yhdysvaltalaiset joukot suorittivat Bagdadissa sijaitsevaa hotelli Palestiinaa vastaan.
Tähän päivään mennessä Yhdysvaltojen viranomaiset ovat visusti vaienneet tästä järkyttävästä murhasta eivätkä ole tutkineet asiaa millään tavalla tai käsitelleet sitä oikeudessa.
Yhdysvaltain viranomaiset ovat kuitenkin päättäneet käynnistää yhdessä Italian hallituksen kanssa tutkimuksen 4. maaliskuuta 2005 tapahtuneesta hyökkäyksestä, jonka yhdysvaltalaiset joukot suorittivat perusteettomasti italialaisen journalisti Guiliana Sgrenan vapauttamisen yhteydessä ja jossa kuoli Nicola Calipari.
Mitä toimenpiteitä Euroopan unioni voi toteuttaa asianmukaisen puolueettoman tutkimuksen käynnistämiseksi, jotta voidaan selvittää, kuka on vastuussa tiedotustehtäviään hoitaneiden José Couson ja hänen kumppaneittensa murhasta?
Kysymyksen nro 11 esittäjä David Hammerstein Mintz ()
Yhdysvaltojen joukkojen hyökkäyksen seurauksena 8. huhtikuuta 2003 kuolivat toimittajantyötä tehdessään José Couso, joka oli Espanjan ja EU:n kansalainen, ja Tele 5 -kanavan kameramies, Taras Protsyk (uutistoimisto Reuters) ja Tareq Ayoub (televisiokanava Al-Jazeera).
Yhdysvaltain viranomaiset eivät tähän päivään mennessä ole tutkineet asiaa eikä oikeudenkäyntiä ole pidetty.
Yhdysvallat on kuitenkin päättänyt käynnistää italialaisten kanssa tutkimuksen samojen joukkojen 4. maaliskuuta journalisti Guiliana Sgrenan vapauttamisen yhteydessä tehdystä perusteettomasta hyökkäyksestä, jossa kuoli Nicola Calipari (Sismin päällikkö).
Mitä toimenpiteitä olisi toteutettava, jotta voidaan taata tutkimus, jossa riittävällä tavalla selvitetään journalisti José Couson ja tämän kumppaneiden murhaan, joka tapahtui heidän hoitaessaan toimittajantyötään, liittyvä rikosoikeudellinen vastuu ja korvausvelvollisuus?
Kysymyksen nro 12 esittäjä Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
Italialaisen journalistin Giuliana Sgrenan vapauttamisen yhteydessä 4. maaliskuuta 2005 Yhdysvaltojen armeija tappoi Nicola Caliparin.
Italian kansalaisten painostuksesta Italian hallitus ja Yhdysvallat on päättänyt järjestää yhteisen tutkimuksen, jotta saadaan selville tämän surullisen tapahtuman yksityiskohdat. Sen sijaan tähän mennessä saamiemme tietojen mukaan espanjalaisen Tele 5:n kameramiehen José Couson, uutistoimisto Reutersin ukrainalaisen kameramiehen Taras Prosyukin ja televisiokanava Al-Jazeeran kameramiehen Tarek Ayoubin, jotka kuolivat yhdysvaltalaisten joukkojen Bagdadissa sijaitsevaa hotelli Palestiinaa vastaan tekemän hyökkäyksen seurauksena, tapausta ei ole tutkittu mitenkään eikä käsitelty oikeudessa.
Ottaen huomioon, että José Couso oli Euroopan unionin kansalainen, mitä toimenpiteitä Euroopan unioni voi toteuttaa yhteisen tutkimuksen järjestämiseksi Yhdysvaltojen viranomaisten kanssa, jotta tapahtumiin saadaan selvyyttä ja löydetään mahdolliset vastuuhenkilöt?
Kysymyksen nro 13 esittäjä Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Pohjoisamerikkalaiset joukot ampuivat 8. huhtikuuta 2003 kohti Bagdadissa sijaitsevan hotellin Palestinan 14. kerrosta, jossa oli useita alueen tapahtumista raportoivia toimittajia. Espanjalainen toimittaja José Couso ei selvinnyt hyökkäyksestä hengissä, ja myös kaksi muuta toimittajaa, Taras Protsyuk ja Tareq Ayoub, murhattiin.
Kaksi vuotta myöhemmin Yhdysvaltojen viranomaiset eivät ole toteuttaneet mitään luotettavaa ja riippumatonta tutkimusta selvittääkseen näiden järjettömien kuolemien tapahtumien kulun ja syyt.
Mitä komissio aikoo tehdä vaatiakseen tutkimusta ja selvittääkseen syyt yhdysvaltalaisten hyökkäykseen hotelli Palestinaan 8. huhtikuuta 2003?
Kysymyksen nro 9 esittäjä Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Kysymyksen nro 14 esittäjä Jean-Marie Cavada ()
Kaksi kameramiestä, espanjalainen Tele 5 -televisiokanavaa edustanut José Couso ja ukrainalainen Reuters-uutistoimistoa edustanut Taras Protsyuk, saivat surmansa 8. huhtikuuta 2003 Bagdadissa, kun Yhdysvaltojen armeija tulitti Palestine-hotellia, jossa sadat vapaat toimittajat majailivat. Samana päivänä myös jordanialainen Al-Jazeera-televisiokanavan toimittaja Tarek Ayoub sai surmansa Yhdysvaltojen ilmahyökkäyksen aikana. Toimittajat ilman rajoja -järjestön mukaan Yhdysvaltojen viranomaisten antama selvitys murheellisiin tapauksiin johtaneista syistä on puutteellinen. Selvityksessä ei nimetä vastuullisia ja siinä salataan se, että Palestine-hotellia tulittaneet sotilaat ja heidän esimiehensä eivät tiedottaneet toisilleen toimittajien läsnäolosta rakennuksessa.
Mihin toimiin Euroopan unioni voi ryhtyä, jotta José Couson kuolemaan johtaneista syistä suoritetaan riippumaton tutkinta syyllisten tunnistamiseksi ja tuomitsemiseksi sekä korvausten maksamiseksi uhrin perheelle?
Yhdysvaltojen joukkojen hyökkäyksen seurauksena 8. huhtikuuta 2003 kuolivat toimittajan työtä tehdessään Espanjan ja EU:n kansalainen ja Telecincon kuvaaja José Couso, Taras Protsyk (Reuters) ja Tareq Ayoub (Al-Jazeera-kanava).
Yhdysvaltojen viranomaiset eivät tähän päivään mennessä ole tutkineet asiaa, eikä oikeudenkäyntiä ole pidetty. Samat viranomaiset ovat kuitenkin suostuneet käynnistämään italialaisten kanssa tutkimuksen samojen joukkojen perusteettomasta hyökkäyksestä, jonka tarkoituksena oli vapauttaa perjantaina 4. maaliskuuta Italian ja EU:n kansalainen Giuliana Sgrena.
Mitä toimia on toteutettava, jotta suoritettaisiin tutkimus, jolla taattaisiin, että työssään kuolleiden EU:n kansalaisen José Couson ja hänen kollegojensa murhaajat saatettaisiin rikosoikeudelliseen vastuuseen ja korvausvelvollisuuteen?

"Leurs objets étant apparentés, j’appelle simultanément les questions suivantes:
Le 8 avril 2003, dans l’exercice de leur travail d’information, mouraient à la suite d’une attaque commise par les forces américaines contre l’hôtel Palestine à Bagdad, José Couso, citoyen espagnol (caméraman à la chaîne espagnole Tele 5), Taras Prosyuk (Agence Reuters) et Tarek Ayoub (chaîne de télévision Al Jazira).
Jusqu’à présent, les autorités américaines ont maintenu le silence absolu sur ce dramatique assassinat, sans qu’aucune enquête ni procédure judiciaire n’aient été ouvertes.
Néanmoins, ces autorités ont décidé de lancer une enquête, avec le gouvernement italien, sur l’attaque injustifiée perpétrée par les mêmes forces armées américaines le 4 mars 2005 à l’occasion de la libération de la journaliste italienne Giuliana Sgrana, causant la mort de Nicola Capilari.
Quelles mesures l’Union européenne peut-elle adopter pour obtenir qu’une enquête soit ouverte, avec les garanties suffisantes d’impartialité, afin de faire toute la lumière sur les responsabilités dans l’assassinat dont ont été victimes José Couso et ses compagnons morts dans l’exercice de leur devoir d’information?
Question n° 11 de M. Hammerstein Mintz ():
Le 8 avril 2003, à la suite des attaques menées par les forces américaines, sont tombés, dans l’exercice de leur mission d’information, José Couso, citoyen espagnol et européen, cameraman de la chaîne Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (agence Reuters) et Tareq Ayoub (chaîne Al Yazira).
Les autorités et les États-Unis n’ont à jour mené aucune enquête ni entamé de processus judiciaire.
Néanmoins, ces mêmes autorités ont accepté d’ouvrir une enquête, menée conjointement avec la partie italienne, à la suite de l’attaque injustifiée réalisée par les forces américaines à l’occasion de la libération le vendredi 4 mars 2005, de la citoyenne italienne et européenne, Mme Giuliana Sgrena.
Quelles mesures convient-il d’adopter en vue de l’ouverture d’une enquête, assortie de garanties suffisantes pour établir les responsabilités pénales et les indemnisations qui s’imposent à la suite de l’assassinat du citoyen européen, M. José Couso, et de ses compagnons, tués dans l’exercice de leur métier d’information du public?
Question n° 12 de M. Ortuondo Larrea ():
Le 4 mars 2005, lors de la libération de la journaliste italienne, Mme Giuliana Sgrana, l’armée américaine a tué M. Nicola Calipari, citoyen italien.
Devant la pression des citoyens italiens, le gouvernement italien et les États-Unis ont décidé de mener une enquête conjointe pour tenter d’éclaircir ce tragique événement. En revanche, le cas des personnes qui avaient trouvé la mort à la suite d’une attaque perpétrée par les forces américaines contre l’hôtel Palestine à Bagdad, à savoir le cameraman espagnol de Télé 5, M. José Couso, le cameraman ukrainien de l’Agence Reuters, M. Taras Prosyuk et le cameraman de la chaîne de télévision Al Jesira, M. Tarek Ayoub, n’a, semble-t-il, jamais fait l’objet d’aucune enquête ni de processus judiciaire à ce jour.
Compte tenu du fait que M. José Couso était un citoyen européen, quelles mesures l’Union européenne peut-elle prendre dans la perspective de cette enquête conjointe des autorités italiennes et américaines, destinée à éclaircir les faits survenus, et, le cas échéant, à établir les responsabilités?
Question n° 13 de M. Guardans Cambó ():
Le 8 avril 2003, des blindés américains tiraient sur le quatorzième étage de l’hôtel Palestina, à Bagdad, où se trouvaient plusieurs journalistes qui relataient les événements. M. José Couso, journaliste espagnol, ne survécut pas à cette attaque. Deux autres journalistes, MM. Taras Protsyuk et Tareq Ayoub, perdirent la vie dans les mêmes circonstances.
Deux années sont passées et les autorités américaines n’ont effectué aucune enquête fiable et indépendante pour éclaircir les faits ainsi que les causes de ces morts absurdes.
Que compte faire le Conseil afin d’exiger une enquête et de faire la lumière sur les motifs de l’attaque américaine contre l’hôtel Palestina le 8 avril 2003?
Question n° 9 de M. Barón Crespo ():
Question n° 14 de M. Cavada ():
Le 8 avril 2003, deux cameramen, l’Espagnol José Couso de la télévision Telecinco et l’Ukrainien Taras Protsyuk de l’agence Reuters ont été tués à Bagdad par un tir de l’armée américaine sur l’Hôtel Palestine, où logeaient plusieurs centaines de journalistes non incorporés. Ce même 8 avril 2003, le journaliste jordanien Tarek Ayoub, de la chaîne Al-Jazira était également tué lors d’un raid aérien américain. Selon Reporters sans frontières, le rapport fourni par les autorités américaines sur les circonstances de ces drames est insuffisant. Il n’identifie pas les responsables et occulte le manque de communication entre les militaires qui ont tiré sur l’Hôtel Palestine et leurs supérieurs hiérarchiques quant à la présence de journalistes à l’intérieur du bâtiment.
Quelles actions peuvent être envisagées par l’Union européenne pour qu’une enquête indépendante soit menée sur les circonstances de la mort de José Couso, afin que les coupables soient identifiés et jugés, et la famille de la victime indemnisée?

Whilst carrying out their work as journalists José Couso, a Spanish citizen (cameraman for the Spanish TV channel Tele 5), Taras Proyuk (Reuters press agency) and Tarek Ayoub (the TV channel Al Jazeera) were killed by the United States’ attack on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad on 8 April 2003."@hu11

L’8 aprile 2003, a seguito di un attacco sferrato dalle forze statunitensi contro l’hotel Palestina a Bagdad, hanno perso la vita nell’adempimento del proprio dovere d’informazione il cittadino spagnolo José Couso (cameraman della rete spagnola Tele 5) e gli operatori Taras Protsyuk (agenzia Reuters) e Tareq Ayoub (rete televisiva Al-Jazera).
Sinora le autorità statunitensi hanno taciuto su questo drammatico assassinio, e non hanno effettuato indagini né avviato procedimenti giudiziari.
Tuttavia, queste stesse autorità hanno accettato di aprire un’inchiesta congiunta con il governo italiano in relazione all’attacco ingiustificato, sempre ad opera delle forze statunitensi, verificatosi il 4 marzo 2005, in occasione della liberazione della giornalista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, nel quale ha perso la vita Nicola Calipari.
A giudizio del Consiglio, quali misure può adottare l’Unione europea per ottenere l’apertura di un’inchiesta che offra le adeguate garanzie di imparzialità, onde accertare tutte le responsabilità legate all’assassinio di José Couso e dei suoi colleghi, caduti nell’adempimento del proprio dovere d’informazione?
l’interrogazione n. 11 dell’onorevole David Hammerstein Mintz ():
L’8 aprile 2003, a seguito degli attacchi delle forze statunitensi, hanno perso la vita nell’adempimento del proprio dovere d’informazione gli operatori televisivi José Couso, cittadino spagnolo ed europeo (Tele 5), Taras Protsyuk (agenzia Reuters) e Tareq Ayoub (Al-Jazera).
Sino ad oggi, le autorità degli Stati Uniti non hanno ancora svolto indagini né avviato alcun processo giudiziario in proposito.
Tuttavia, esse hanno invece deciso di avviare un’indagine, in cooperazione con l’Italia, a seguito dell’ingiustificato attacco compiuto il 4 marzo scorso dalle forze statunitensi durante la liberazione della giornalista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, che aveva portato alla morte di Nicola Calipari, funzionario del Sismi.
interrogazione n. 9 dell’onorevole Enrique Barón Crespo ():
Quali misure occorre adottate per assicurare lo svolgimento di un’indagine che permetta di determinare le responsabilità sia penali che in termini di indennizzo per quanto riguarda l’assassinio del giornalista José Couso e dei suoi colleghi, uccisi durante lo svolgimento della loro attività professionale di pubblica informazione?
l’interrogazione n. 12 dell’onorevole Josu Ortuondo Larrea ():
Il 4 marzo 2005, poco dopo la liberazione della giornalista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, l’esercito americano ha ucciso il cittadino italiano Nicola Calipari.
Di fronte alla pressione della cittadinanza italiana, il governo italiano e gli Stati Uniti hanno deciso di condurre un’inchiesta congiunta per tentare di chiarire questo triste evento. Al contrario, il caso dell’operatore spagnolo di Tele 5 José Couso, dell’operatore ucraino dell’agenzia Reuters Taras Prosyuk, e dell’operatore della rete televisiva Al Jazeera Tarek Ayoub, morti a causa di un attacco ad opera delle forze statunitensi contro l’hotel Palestina a Bagdad, non è stato oggetto di alcuna inchiesta né azione giudiziaria, di cui si sappia fino ad ora.
Dal momento che José Couso era un cittadino europeo, quali misure può adottare l’Unione europea per ottenere un’inchiesta congiunta con le autorità statunitensi al fine di chiarire i fatti e, se del caso, appurare le eventuali responsabilità?
l’interrogazione n. 13 dell’onorevole Ignasi Guardans Cambó ():
L’8 aprile 2003 blindati statunitensi spararono contro il 14° piano dell’Hotel Palestine di Baghdad, dove si trovavano vari giornalisti che stavano facendo la cronaca degli avvenimenti in corso. José Couso, giornalista spagnolo, non sopravvisse all’attacco. Nelle stesse circostanze morirono altri due giornalisti, Taras Protsyuk e Tareq Ayoub.
A due anni di distanza le autorità degli Stati Uniti non hanno svolto alcuna indagine affidabile e indipendente per chiarire quanto accaduto e stabilire le cause di queste morti assurde.
Che cosa intende fare il Consiglio per esigere un’indagine e chiarire le ragioni dell’attacco statunitense dell’8 aprile 2003 all’Hotel Palestine?
e l’interrogazione n. 14 dell’onorevole Jean-Marie Cavada ():
L’8 aprile 2003 due cameraman, lo spagnolo José Couso della televisione Telecinco e l’ucraino Taras Protsyuk dell’agenzia Reuters, sono stati uccisi a Baghdad da un tiro dell’esercito americano sull’Hotel Palestine dove alloggiavano varie centinaia di giornalisti non incorporati. Lo stesso 8 aprile 2003 il giornalista giordano, Tarek Ayoub, della rete Al-Jazira veniva del pari ucciso in occasione di un’incursione aerea americana. Secondo Reporters sans frontières il rapporto fornito dalle autorità americane sulle circostanze di detti drammi è incompleto giacché non individua i responsabili ed occulta la mancata comunicazione fra i militari che hanno fatto fuoco sull’Hotel Palestine e i loro superiori gerarchici circa la presenza di giornalisti all’interno dell’edificio.
A giudizio del Consiglio, quali azioni possono essere ventilate dall’Unione europea per far sì che sia esperita un’inchiesta indipendente sulle circostanze della morte di José Couso, che i colpevoli siano individuati e processati e che la famiglia della vittima sia risarcita?
L’8 aprile 2003, a seguito degli attacchi delle forze statunitense, gli operatori televisivi José Couso, cittadino spagnolo ed europeo (Tele 5), Taras Protsyuk (agenzia Reuters) e Tareq Ayoub (Al-Jazera) hanno perso la vita nell’adempimento del proprio dovere d’informazione.
Sinora le autorità statunitensi non hanno effettuato indagini né avviato alcun procedimento giudiziario. Tuttavia, esse hanno accettato di aprire un’inchiesta con la partecipazione delle autorità italiane in relazione all’attacco ingiustificato, sempre ad opera delle forze statunitensi, verificatosi in occasione della liberazione della cittadina italiana ed europea Giuliana Sgrena, lo scorso venerdì 4 marzo.
Può il Consiglio indicare quali sono le misure da adottare per ottenere l’apertura di un’inchiesta che offra sufficienti garanzie e permetta di accertare eventuali responsabilità penali e stabilire risarcimenti in relazione all’assassinio del cittadino europeo José Couso e dei suoi colleghi, caduti nell’adempimento del proprio dovere d’informazione?

"Aangezien de volgende vragen over een soortgelijk onderwerp gaan, worden zij tezamen behandeld:
Op 8 april 2003 kwamen José Couso, Spaans staatsburger (cameraman van de Spaanse zender Tele5), Taras Prosyuk (persbureau Reuters) en Tarek Ayoub (zender Al Yazira) als gevolg van de bestorming door Amerikaanse troepen van het Palestina Hotel in Bagdad, tijdens de uitoefening van hun journalistieke werk om het leven.
Tot op heden hebben de Amerikaanse autoriteiten met geen woord over deze moord gerept, is er geen enkel onderzoek ingesteld en zijn er geen gerechtelijke stappen ondernomen.
Dezelfde autoriteiten hebben echter wel besloten om samen met de Italiaanse regering een onderzoek in te stellen naar de ongerechtvaardigde beschieting op 4 maart 2005 door Amerikaanse soldaten van de auto waarmee de vrijgelaten Italiaanse journaliste Giuliana Sgrena naar het vliegveld werd gebracht. De Italiaanse veiligheidsagent Nicola Capilari kwan hierbij om het leven.
Welke maatregelen denkt de EU te treffen om ervoor te zorgen dat naar de moordpartij in 2003, waarbij José Couso en zijn collega's bij de uitoefening van hun journalistieke werkzaamheden om het leven kwamen, een gegarandeerd objectief onderzoek wordt ingesteld dat duidelijkheid kan verschaffen over de verantwoordelijkheid en aansprakelijkheid?
Vraag nr. 11 van David Hammerstein Mintz ():
Op 8 april 2003 kwamen bij aanvallen van de Amerikaanse strijdkrachten de Spaanse journalist José Couso van de zender Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (persagentschap Reuters) en Tareq Ayoub (van de zender Al Jazira) om het leven bij de uitoefening van hun journalistieke arbeid.
Hun dood was tot nu toe voor de autoriteiten van de Verenigde Staten geen aanleiding om een onderzoek in te stellen of een rechtszaak te openen.
Na de misplaatste aanval van dezelfde strijdkrachten op 4 maart bij de invrijheidstelling van de Italiaanse journaliste Giuliana Sgrena, waarbij een medewerker van de Italiaanse militaire veiligheidsdienst Sismi, Nicola Calipari, om het leven kwam, besloten de Verenigde Staten echter wel een onderzoek in te zullen stellen met de medewerking van Italië.
Welke maatregelen moeten genomen worden om ervoor te zorgen dat er een onderzoek wordt ingesteld om de strafrechtelijke verantwoordelijkheid en de aanspraken op schadeloosstelling voor de moord op José Couso en zijn collega's bij de uitoefening van hun journalistieke arbeid vast te stellen?
Vraag nr. 12 van Josu Ortuondo Larrea ():
Op 4 maart 2005 heeft het Amerikaanse leger bij de vrijlating van de Italiaanse journaliste Giuliana Sgrena de Italiaanse burger Nicola Calipari gedood.
De Italiaanse regering en de Verenigde Staten hebben vanwege grote druk uit de Italiaanse burgerij besloten gezamenlijk een onderzoek in te stellen om dit treurige voorval op te helderen. De zaak van de Spaanse cameraman van Tele 5, José Couso, de Oekraïense cameraman van het Reutersagentschap, Taras Prosyuk, en de cameraman van de tv-zender Al Yazira, Tarek Ayoub, die zijn omgekomen bij een aanval van Amerikaanse troepen op Hotel Palestina in Bagdad is evenwel voorzover wij weten, tot op dit ogenblik noch onderzocht noch voor de rechter gekomen.
Aangezien José Couso een Europees staatsburger was, luidt de vraag welke maatregelen de Europese Unie kan nemen om samen met de Amerikaanse autoriteiten een onderzoek in te stellen om de gebeurtenissen op te helderen en vast te stellen waar eventuele verantwoordelijkheden liggen?
Vraag nr. 13 van Ignasi Guardans Cambó ():
Op 8 april 2003 openden Amerikaanse tanks het vuur op het Hotel Palestina, waar zich op de veertiende verdieping verscheidene journalisten ophielden die de gebeurtenissen in Irak versloegen. De Spaanse journalist José Couso overleefde de aanval niet, en twee andere journalisten, Taras Protsyuk en Tareq Ayoub, vonden daarbij eveneens de dood.
Twee jaar later hebben de Amerikaanse autoriteiten nog steeds geen betrouwbaar en onafhankelijk onderzoek naar de gebeurtenissen uitgevoerd om vast te stellen wat de redenen waren voor de absurde dood van deze journalisten.
Welke stappen zal de Raad zetten om een onderzoek te eisen, zodat vastgesteld kan worden waarom de Amerikaanse aanval op het Hotel Palestina op 8 april 2003 plaatshad?
Vraag nr. 9 van Enrique Barón Crespo ():
Vraag nr. 14 van Jean-Marie Cavada ():
Op 8 april 2003 zijn twee cameramannen, de Spanjaard José Couso van het televisiestation Telecinco en de Oekraïniër Taras Protsyuk van persbureau Reuters, in Bagdad gedood door een projectiel van het Amerikaanse leger dat was gericht op Hotel Palestine, waar meerdere honderden niet-geïncorporeerde journalisten logeerden. Op dezelfde dag werd ook de Jordaanse journalist Tarek Ayoub van het TV-station Al-Jazira gedood bij een Amerikaanse luchtaanval. Volgens "Reporters zonder grenzen" is het rapport dat door de Amerikaanse autoriteiten is uitgebracht over de omstandigheden van deze gebeurtenissen ontoereikend. De verantwoordelijken worden niet genoemd en het gebrek aan communicatie tussen de militairen die geschoten hebben op Hotel Palestine en hun hiërarchische meerderen met betrekking tot de aanwezigheid van journalisten in dit hotel, wordt versluierd.
Welke maatregelen kan de Europese Unie nemen om te bewerkstelligen dat een onafhankelijk onderzoek wordt ingesteld naar de omstandigheden van de dood van José Couso, opdat de schuldigen worden gevonden en berecht en de familie van het slachtoffer schadeloos wordt gesteld?
Op 8 april 2003 kwamen als gevolg van aanvallen van de Amerikaanse strijdkrachten José Couso, Spaans staatsburger en Europeaan, cameraman van de televisiezender Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (persagentschap Reuters) en Tareq Ayoub (van de zender Al Yazira) om het leven tijdens de uitoefening van hun journalistieke werk.
Tot nog toe hebben de autoriteiten van de VS geen enkel onderzoek ingesteld noch zijn zij een gerechtelijk proces begonnen. Dezelfde autoriteiten hebben echter wel ermee ingestemd om samen met de Italianen een onderzoek in te stellen naar de ongerechtvaardigde aanval van diezelfde strijdkrachten op het konvooi dat de op 4 maart vrijgelaten Italiaanse en Europese staatsburgeres Giuliana Sgrena, naar het vliegveld bracht.
Welke maatregelen moeten worden genomen om te bewerkstelligen dat er een onderzoek wordt ingesteld, met voldoende waarborgen voor het vaststellen van de strafrechtelijke en civiele aansprakelijkheid, naar aanleiding van de moord op de Europese burger José Couso, alsmede zijn collega's, die omgekomen zijn bij de uitoefening van hun journalistieke werkzaamheden?

It does not identify those responsible, and conceals the lack of communication between the soldiers who fired on the Palestine Hotel and their superiors with regard to the fact that journalists were present inside the building.
What steps might be taken by the European Union with a view to an independent inquiry being held into the circumstances surrounding the death of José Couso, in order that the culprits are identified and tried and the victim's family receives compensation?
On 8 April 2003, as a consequence of attacks by United States forces, José Couso, a Spanish and European citizen working as a cameraman for the Tele 5 station, Taras Protsyuk (Reuters news agency) and Tareq Ayoub (Al Jazeera) died while doing their job of reporting events.
Up to now, the US authorities have not launched any investigation or judicial proceedings. However, the same authorities have agreed to open an investigation, with Italian involvement, in relation to the unjustified attack carried out by the same forces when the Italian and European citizen Giuliana Sgrena was freed on Friday, 4 March 2005.
What steps must be taken to ensure that an investigation is carried out with sufficient guarantees that it will clarify who bears criminal responsibility and who is liable to pay compensation in relation to the murder of the European citizen José Couso, and of his fellow journalists who died while doing their duty of informing the public?
Question no 10 by Willy Meyer Pleite ()
Whilst carrying out their work as journalists José Couso, a Spanish citizen (cameraman for the Spanish TV channel Tele 5), Taras Proyuk (Reuters press agency) and Tarek Ayoub (the TV channel Al Jazeera) were killed by the United States’ attack on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad on 8 April 2003."@pl16
"Dado referirem-se a assuntos semelhantes, seguem-se as seguintes perguntas:
No passado dia 8 de Abril de 2003, faleciam, enquanto exerciam as suas funções de informação, em consequência de um ataque perpetrado pelas forças dos Estados Unidos contra o Hotel Palestina em Bagdade, José Couso, cidadão espanhol (repórter da cadeia espanhola Tele 5), Taras Prosyuk (Agência Reuters) e Tarek Ayoub (cadeia de televisão Al Jazira).
Até hoje, as autoridades dos Estados Unidos mantiveram o mais absoluto silêncio em torno deste dramático assassinato, não tendo efectuado qualquer investigação ou aberto qualquer processo judicial.
No entanto, as mesmas autoridades decidiram abrir um inquérito, conjuntamente com o Governo italiano, sobre o ataque injustificado realizado pelas mesmas forças armadas dos Estados Unidos em 4 de Março de 2005 aquando da libertação da jornalista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, de que resultou a morte de Nicola Capilari.
Que medidas pode adoptar a UE para a obtenção da abertura de um inquérito, com as suficientes garantias de imparcialidade, a fim de apurar todas as responsabilidades relativamente ao assassinato que vitimou José Couso e os seus companheiros no exercício da sua missão informativa?
Pergunta nº 11, do deputado David Hammerstein Mintz ()
Em 8 de Abril de 2003, na sequência dos ataques das forças norte-americanas, perderam a vida, no exercício da sua actividade informativa, José Couso, cidadão espanhol e europeu, repórter de imagem do canal Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (agência Reuters) e Tareq Ayoub (cadeia Al Yazira).
Neste contexto, as autoridades dos EUA não realizaram qualquer inquérito nem instruíram qualquer processo judicial.
Contudo, na sequência do ataque injustificado efectuado pelas mesmas forças no passado dia 4 de Março, por ocasião da libertação da jornalista italiana Giuliana Sgrena, e no qual perdeu a vida Nicola Calipari (chefe do Sismi), os EUA decidiram abrir um inquérito, com a participação italiana.
Assim, quais as medidas a adoptar a fim de assegurar uma investigação que permita apurar as responsabilidades penais e determinar as indemnizações a conceder no âmbito do assassínio do cidadão europeu José Couso e dos seus companheiros, mortos no exercício da sua actividade informativa?
Pergunta nº 12, do deputado Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
Em 4 de Março de 2005 aquando da libertação da jornalista italiana Giuliana Sgrana, o exército americano abateu o cidadão italiano Nicola Calipari.
Perante a pressão de todos os cidadãos italianos, o Governo italiano e os Estados Unidos decidiram investigar conjuntamente para clarificar este triste acontecimento. Em contrapartida, o caso do operador de câmara espanhol de "Tele 5", José Couso, o operador de câmara ucraniano da Agência Reuters, Taras Prosyuk e o operador de câmara de Al Jazia, Tarek Ayoub, que faleceram no sequência de um ataque das forças norte-americanas contra o Hotel Palestina em Bagdade, que se saiba não foi objecto até à data de qualquer investigação nem processo judicial.
Uma vez que José Couso era cidadão europeu, que medidas pode a União Europeia adoptar que visem uma investigação conjunta com as autoridades dos EUA para esclarecer os factos e apurar as possíveis responsabilidades?
Pergunta nº 13, do deputado Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Em 8 de Abril de 2003, carros blindados norte-americanos dispararam contra o 14º andar do Hotel Palestina em Bagdad, onde se encontravam diversos jornalistas que faziam o relato dos acontecimentos. José Couso, jornalista espanhol, não sobreviveu a este ataque. Na mesma ocasião morreram outros dois jornalistas, Taras Protsyuk e Tareq Ayoub.
Passados dois anos, as autoridades norte-americanas ainda não realizaram uma investigação fiável e independente que permita esclarecer os factos e as razões dessas mortes absurdas.
Que pensa o Conselho fazer para exigir uma investigação e esclarecer os motivos do ataque dos Estados Unidos ao Hotel Palestina de 8 de Abril de 2003?
Pergunta nº 9, do deputado Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Pergunta nº 14, do deputado Jean-Marie Cavada ()
Em 8 de Abril de 2003, dois operadores de câmara, o espanhol José Couso, da cadeia de televisão Telecinco, e o ucraniano Taras Protsyuk, da agência Reuters, foram mortos em Bagdade por um tiro disparado pelas forças armadas americanas contra o Hotel Palestina, onde se encontravam alojados várias centenas de jornalistas não incorporados. Nesse mesmo dia 8 de Abril de 2003, o jornalista jordano Tarek Ayoub, da cadeia Al-Jazira, foi igualmente morto durante um raid aéreo americano. De acordo com a Repórteres Sem Fronteiras, o relatório fornecido pelas autoridades americanas sobre as circunstâncias destes dramas é insuficiente. Não identifica os responsáveis e oculta a falta de comunicação entre os militares que dispararam contra o Hotel Palestina e os seus superiores hierárquicos relativamente à presença de jornalistas dentro do edifício.
Que diligências poderão ser feitas pela União Europeia para que seja efectuado um inquérito independente sobre as circunstâncias da morte de José Couso, de forma a que os culpados sejam identificados e julgados e a família da vítima indemnizada?

Quais as medidas a adoptar para que se proceda a uma investigação, com as garantias adequadas, a fim de apurar as responsabilidades penais e determinar as indemnizações a conceder no âmbito do assassínio do cidadão europeu José Couso e dos seus companheiros, mortos no cumprimento do seu dever de informação?

Question no 9 by Enrique Barón Crespo ()
On 4 March 2005, the freeing of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrana led to the killing of the Italian citizen Nicola Calipar by the US army.
Under pressure from Italian public opinion, the Italian Government and the USA have decided to carry out a joint investigation to attempt to clarify this unhappy event. But the cases of the Spanish Tele 5 cameraman, José Couso, the Ukrainian Reuters cameraman Taras Prosyuk and the Al Jazira television cameraman Tarek Ayoub, who were all killed as a result of an attack carried out by US forces on the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad, have not been the subject of any investigation or court proceedings to date, as far as we know.
Given that José Couso was a European citizen, what steps could be taken on the part of the European Union with a view to carrying out a joint investigation with the US authorities, so as to throw light on what happened and, where appropriate, determine who was responsible?
Question no 13 by Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
On 8 April 2003, US armoured vehicles fired at the 14th floor of the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad, where several journalists covering the war were staying. José Couso, a Spanish journalist, lost his life in the attack, as did two other journalists, Taras Protsyuk and Tareq Ayoub.
Two years on, the US authorities have still to carry out a credible and independent investigation in order to clarify the course of events and the reasons for such meaningless deaths.

"Eftersom de behandlar samma ämne kommer följande frågor att tas upp tillsammans:
Den 8 april 2003 omkom – till följd av en attack av de amerikanska styrkorna mot hotell Palestina i Bagdad – José Couso, spansk medborgare (kameraman vid den spanska TV-kanalen Tele 5), Taras Prosyuk (nyhetsbyrån Reuters) och Tarek Ayoub (TV-kanalen Al Yazira) i samband med deras arbete som nyhetsförmedlare.
De amerikanska myndigheterna har fram tills nu fullständigt tigit om detta dramatiska mord och har vare sig inlett någon utredning eller något juridiskt förfarande.
Icke desto mindre har de amerikanska myndigheterna beslutat att i samarbete med den italienska regeringen inleda en utredning om de amerikanska väpnade styrkornas omotiverade angrepp den 4 mars 2005 i samband med befriandet av den italienska journalisten Giuliana Sgrana, som kostade Nicola Capilaris livet.
Vilka åtgärder avser EU vidta för att se till att en utredning med tillräckliga garantier om opartiskhet inleds i syfte att klarlägga ansvarsfrågan gällande mordet på José Couso och dennes kollegor som dog i samband med deras yrkesutövande?
Fråga nr 11 av David Hammerstein Mintz ()
Som en följd av den amerikanska militärens angrepp den 8 april 2003 miste José Couso; spansk och europeisk medborgare och kameraman för tv-kanalen Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (Reuters) och Tareq Ayoub (tv-kanalen Al Jazira) livet under utövandet av sitt arbete som nyhetsförmedlare.
De amerikanska myndigheterna har fortfarande inte inlett någon form av utredning eller rättslig prövning i denna fråga.
Däremot har Förenta staterna beslutat att tillsammans med Italien inleda en utredning av den amerikanska militärens omotiverade angrepp den 4 mars 2005 i samband med frigivandet av den italienska journalisten Giuliana Sgrena. Detta angrepp slutade med att Nicola Calipari (chefen för Sismi) miste livet.
Vilka åtgärder skall vidtas för att se till att det genomförs en utredning som gör det möjligt att korrekt slå fast vem som bär det straffrättsliga ansvaret och skadeståndsansvaret i samband med mordet på journalisten José Couso och dennes kollegor i samband med att de utförde sitt arbete som allmänhetens nyhetsförmedlare?
Fråga nr 12 från Josu Ortuondo Larrea ()
Den 4 mars 2005 i samband med fritagandet av den italienska journalisten Giuliana Sgrana dödade den amerikanska armén den italienska medborgaren Nicola Calipari.
Efter påtryckningar från den italienska befolkningen beslutade den italienska regeringen och Förenta staterna att tillsammans göra en utredning för att försöka klarlägga denna sorgliga händelse. Däremot har fallet med den spanska kameramannen José Couso från kanalen Tele 5, den ukrainska kameramannen Taras Prosyuk från nyhetsbyrån Reuters och kameramannen Tarek Ayoub från tevekanalen Al Jazira, vilka omkom till följd av en attack som de amerikanska styrkorna genomförde mot Hotel Palestina i Bagdad, inte blivit föremål för någon utredning eller några rättsliga åtgärder, enligt de uppgifter som framkommit hittills.
Mot bakgrund av att José Couso var EU-medborgare, vilka åtgärder kan EU vidta i syfte att få till stånd en utredning tillsammans med Förenta staternas myndigheter, så att fakta kan klarläggas och ansvaret fastställas i förekommande fall?
Fråga nr 13 från Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Den 8 april 2003 sköt amerikanska pansartrupper mot våning 14 i Hotel Palestina i Bagdad där ett antal journalister som förmedlade nyheter om kriget befann sig. Den spanske journalisten José Couso avled i attacken liksom två andra journalister, Taras Protsyuk och Tarek Ayoub.
Två år senare har Förenta staternas myndigheter ännu inte genomfört någon tillförlitlig och oberoende undersökning för att klarlägga händelseförloppet och orsakerna till dessa meningslösa dödsfall.
Vad avser rådet att göra för att se till att en utredning kommer till stånd och klarlägga skälen till den amerikanska attacken mot Hotel Palestina den 8 april 2003?
Fråga nr 9 från Enrique Barón Crespo ()
Fråga nr 14 från Jean-Marie Cavada ()
Två kameramän, spanjoren José Couso från televisionskanalen Telecinco och ukrainaren Taras Protsyuk från nyhetsbyrån Reuters, dödades den 8 april 2003 i Bagdad då den amerikanska armén gav eld mot hotell Palestine där ett hundratal fria journalister bodde. Samma dag, den 8 april 2003, dödades också den jordanska journalisten Tarek Ayoub från tv-kanalen Al Jazira i ett amerikanskt flygangrepp. Enligt Reportrar utan gränser är den redogörelse som de amerikanska myndigheterna lämnat om omständigheterna kring dessa tragedier otillräcklig eftersom den inte fastställer vilka de ansvariga är och döljer kommunikationsbristen mellan de militärer som skjutit mot hotell Palestine och deras överordnade när det gäller närvaron av journalister i byggnaden.
Vilka åtgärder kan EU vidta för att en oavhängig undersökning av omständigheterna kring José Cousos död genomförs för att de ansvariga skall kunna identifieras och lagföras och offrets familj gottgöras?
Under utövande av sitt informativa arbete dog den 8 april 2003 José Couso, spansk och europeisk medborgare och kameraman för TV-kanalen Tele 5, Taras Protsyuk (nyhetsbyrån Reuters) och Tareq Ayoub (TV-kanalen Al Yazira) till följd av angrepp från Förenta staternas trupper.
Hittills har de amerikanska myndigheterna varken genomfört någon undersökning eller inlett någon rättegång. Däremot har samma myndigheter accepterat att inleda en undersökning med italiensk medverkan när det gäller det omotiverade angrepp som samma trupper genomförde med anledning av befrielsen fredagen den 4 mars av den italienska och europeiska medborgaren Giuliana Sgrena.
Vilka åtgärder behöver vidtas för att åstadkomma att det genomförs en undersökning med tillräckliga garantier för att fastställa det straffrättsliga och skadeståndsmässiga ansvaret i samband med mordet på EU-medborgaren José Couso, och även på hans kamrater som dog när de utförde sitt informationsuppdrag?
