lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, there has been a lot of talk about the right balance of security and civil liberties, but let us see how it works in practice. Last year, an agreement was adopted, against the will of the European Parliament, giving the United States access to passenger name records. Just last Saturday, a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Mexico flying over the United States was denied access to US airspace and sent back to the Netherlands. Why? Because the US had found that there were two passengers on board who were on a US list of potential terrorists. How did the United States get that data? How did they get those names? The agreement on passenger name records applies only to flights from and to the United States, not flights crossing US airspace. The United States was therefore clearly breaking the rules and I would like to hear what action the Commission is going to take. Secondly, I very much welcome the words of Mr Frattini, who said that we should promote and not just protect fundamental rights, and I would like to add that we should promote values and not just make legislation. I would like Mr Frattini to inform us of the state of play regarding the creation of the working group on fundamental rights promised to us by Mr Barroso. I have not heard anything about it. I hope that this working group will look in particular at proposals to end discrimination against gay and lesbian people. For example, how about the recognition of married same-sex couples? How about tackling homophobia, which is on the rise? How about encouraging those Member States that have so far failed to recognise or compensate gay victims of the Nazi regime? I hope the Commission will answer these questions."@en1
