lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Basque citizens should take note of the fact that Mr Ortuondo cares more for ETA prisoners than for the victims of terrorism. Mr President, Commissioner, we are dealing with the new annual report on the situation of fundamental rights in the European Union which, owing to the method used for its production – a different political group every year – makes it impossible for the final result to reflect a consensus – which furthermore is necessary – of all the groups in this House. This would be my first critical comment with a view to future reports. Mr Sylla – whom I respect and whom I thank personally – has made considerable efforts to ensure that the European Union’s anti-terrorist policy is well-considered and supported by this Parliament. I would like to expressly state, however – and in this regard I do disagree with his explanatory statement – that it is only the victims of terrorism who really suffer torture and all types of suffering, and not the ETA terrorists, who use the strategy of accusations of torture to try to weaken the rule of law. This is why in paragraph 12 we called for a European instrument for compensating victims which, let us hope, will be reflected in the 2004 budgets. Nevertheless, there are other issues which prevent an entirely positive assessment of it. One of them is its proposal on active euthanasia, which clashes head-on with a decision of the European Council of 26 March 2002, or the chapter relating to immigration and asylum, which confuses economic immigration with asylum seekers – an issue which has already been overcome by the Commission and also within our Parliamentary debate – or the request for equivalence between marriage and homosexual partnerships, and it also proposes that homosexual partnerships be allowed to adopt children, something which goes further than the logical non-discrimination against any person on the grounds of their sexual orientation. We can also talk about the proposal that resident third-country nationals who have been in European territory for more than three years should participate in municipal and even European elections, which would mean removing the link between European citizenship and nationality, thereby depriving it of any content. Something else which I consider to be a serious error is the very negative reference made to cooperation with the United States on an issue which, apart from anything else, does not correspond to the year dealt with by the report, that of the communication of passenger data to the United States authorities, which is currently at the negotiation stage and subject to open debate in this Parliament."@en1
