"Some EU Member States allegedly allowed the transportation and detention of prisoners by the CIA on their territory, under a secret programme. Faced with such serious allegations, national parliamentary inquiries were initiated. However, strong political and diplomatic pressure prevented politicians from working in a fully independent manner and from making progress with their investigations. I am convinced that transatlantic cooperation between security and intelligence services is essential, particularly in the fight against terrorism. However, nothing justifies human rights, fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of law being flouted with impunity. Therefore, in plenary, I voted in favour of the resolution calling for the Member States concerned to assume their responsibilities and give their support to the independent inquiries as quickly as possible. The territorial integrity of the EU and the coherence of our action with regard to human rights and democracy are at stake."@en1
