I voted in favour of the report on the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners. Since January 2006, a great deal of work has been carried out by Parliament’s Temporary Committee, which is responsible for conducting investigations into the allegations made in the press on this sensitive issue. I should like to point out that, if its work is to be legitimate, it is important for the Committee to rely on tangible and verifiable evidence, so as to remain somewhat impartial. The MEPs are vested with a duty of transparency and information towards the citizens; this information must therefore be guided by a concern to provide the most accurate feedback possible. While the final report does not fulfil this demand as well as it might, I decided to vote in favour, convinced that, through these committees, Parliament is required to play a decisive role in terms of helping to ensure that the human rights and fundamental values to which the Union fully adheres in its Treaties are respected. Thus, the fight against terrorism must be waged in compliance with the international law in force, and no human rights violations can be justified."@en1
