". Even the debate on this issue, just a few days after the criminal invasion of Iraq by the British and American forces, constitutes provocation. Under this agreement, the ΕU can hand the citizens of its Member States and their personal data over, with no strings attached, to the jurisdiction of the USA, the prosecuting authorities of which will do as they please far from any democratic control. Joint EU/USA investigating teams will operate uncontrolled in the ΕU, in violation of national constitutions and domestic law. This is an agreement at the expense of the citizens of the Member States of the ΕU. It does not result in any differentiation in the domestic law of the USA, such as the repeal of the death penalty or the discriminatory provisions in the 'patriotic law' which deny non-US citizens legal aid, changes to the legislation of states in the USA which are incompatible with European law, or an end to the inhumane detention of prisoners of war, including citizens of Member States of the EU in Guantánamo. We call on our peoples to organise mass demonstrations against a dangerous agreement which, on the pretext of combating terrorism, will escalate prosecutions against the grass-roots, anti-imperialist movement by extraditing the fighters at its vanguard to the USA, together with anyone in general whom the USA considers suspicious; to prevent the legalisation of uncontrolled activities by the US prosecuting authorities in the ΕU and to stop their governments from ratifying any such agreement."@en1
