"In this report, the European Parliament expresses its opinion on allegations based on certain testimonies: illegal CIA flights were apparently operated and Guantánamo detainees accused of terrorism were imprisoned without due process in nine EU Member States. Rapporteur Hélène Flautre of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats states that when preparing the report, certain EU Member States obstructed free and independent investigations by MEP delegations, which aim to guarantee justice for victims. She says that those Member States are covering up crimes in the name of the need to keep state secrets. Violations of EU law should not be justified by the fight against terrorism. After all, the world sees the European Union as the greatest defender of human rights. I agree with the rapporteur that the EU Member States not only have to investigate matters fully, but also have to facilitate additional independent inquiries by EU institutions. It is important for those persons responsible to be identified and for compensation to be paid for damage suffered. I voted in favour of this report because it calls for judicial cooperation among EU Member States to be improved in criminal cases and for the European Commission to ensure that cooperation is pursued."@en1
