lpv:translated text	"Mr President, one cannot but agree with the general principles expounded by the President-in-Office and the Commissioner, but what matters is how we apply them and I have three comments to make here. First, we should not be mild-mannered psychotherapists in one country and unrelenting public prosecutors in another. The criteria applied to Turkey should also apply to Iran and the criteria applied to Iran should also apply to Turkey. And while we are on the subject of Turkey, it is about time that Leyla Zana, the woman awarded the Sakharov prize, saw the light of day. And it would be an important achievement if that were to happen under the Greek Presidency. Secondly, the United States. In addition to what the Commissioner said, there is the question of the death penalty in the United States and we need to address this issue in the same way as we have addressed it in other countries. And while we are on the subject of crossed swords between the European Union and the United States, I think it is perhaps about time we awarded a Sakharov prize to an American in 2003, the outgoing governor of Illinois, who has pardoned 150 people on death row. Thirdly, we must look at new rights being violated by measures against terrorism."@en1
