lpv:spoken text	"Question No 10 by Hélène Goudin () Testimony has emerged in Sweden that the French military force involved in EU operation Artemis in Bunia, Congo, engaged in the torture and fake execution of a prisoner. This incident is alleged to have taken place on 13 July 2003 and has been investigated by both the Swedish and French armed forces. This incident raises many issues regarding future cooperation. Are there any guarantees that the forces sent by EU Member States on EU operations observe signed conventions and have competence under international law? How does the Council intend to follow up the findings of the current French investigation into the Bunia incident? Question No 11 by Hanne Dahl () Testimony has emerged in Sweden that the French military force involved in EU operation Artemis in Bunia, Congo, engaged in the torture and fake execution of a prisoner. This incident is alleged to have taken place on 13 July 2003 and has been investigated by both the Swedish and French armed forces. The Swedish evidence gave contradictory accounts and the French investigation came to the conclusion that no abuses had occurred, but the incident does raise a number of issues for the future. Who should assume political responsibility for excesses committed by a Member State's military force engaged in an EU operation abroad? If a Member State's military force is found guilty of a war crime during an EU operation, is it possible to suspend that Member State from EU operations for a lengthy period in order to defend the good name and reputation of military forces from the EU Member States?"@en1
