"Mr President, this House is requested to give its approval to the proposal of the Council on a framework decision that concerns directly basic principles of democracy. This Parliament is merely consulted. Its opinion is, in the words of Mr Turco, "no more than a costly bureaucratic exercise". More than forty years have passed since I learned from Patrick McGuilligham at the Faculty of Law in Dublin what the expression "rubber stamp parliament" means. In our last sitting in Strasbourg, talking about the area of freedom, security and justice defined in the Amsterdam Treaty, the Spanish presidency put security first, ignoring the fact that the only real guarantee for security is the implementation of freedom and justice. Mr Watson, on that occasion, stood up to say: "We will push you to make sure that freedom and justice are not far behind." Yesterday two more Basque organisations – SEGI and ASKATASUNA – were expelled from the area of freedom and justice in the name of Mr Aznar's priority – Spanish security. Can this judicial decision form part of the European judicial space mentioned by Mr Watson?"@en1
