De nou amb l’afer dels vols de la CIA i Guantanamo (i ara, a més, afrontant la qüestió de les llistes negres)
Dilluns al vespre, a Estrasburg, vàrem tenir ocasió d’intercanviar punts de vista amb el ponent de l’Assemblea del Consell d’Europa (CoE), Dick Marty, autor de l’informe sobre els vols de la CIA i, més recentment, abanderat d’una nova batalla en favor dels drets fonamentals com són les famoses llistes negres de la UE i de Nacions Unides. Sobre aquesta qüestió un grup de diputats i diputades estem preparant una sèrie d’iniciatives que comentaré aviat (avanço, però, que l’existència de les llistes, i especialment els procediments amb què funcionen, són del tot inadmisibles en un Estat de Dret). Per altra banda, noves informacions (veure informe Journey of Death) de l’organització Reprieve (amb qui ens hem reunit aquest matí) ens obliguen a tornar a posar sobre la taula l’afer dels vols de la CIA i les detencions i pràctiques il.legals a Guantanamo. Aquest és un assumpte que ja he tractat en anteriors ocasions (veure categoria DDHH: Guantanamo/vols de la CIA/EUA) però ara hi torno per informar de la iniciativa que he promogut en forma de preguntes a la Comissió i al Consell que adjunto a continuació: (segueix…)
Oral Question by Raül Romeva (et al) to the Comission on the New evidences of EU Member States involved in CIA renditions to Guantanamo
A recent report "Journey of Death", released by the NGO Reprieve, U.K., reveals that Portuguese territory and airspace was used between 2002 and 2006 to transfer over 700 prisoners to torture and illegal imprisonment in Guantanamo Bay. This report was compiled by comparing flight logs obtained from Portuguese authorities, information from the U.S. Department of Defence showing dates of arrival of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and unclassified testimony from many of the prisoners themselves.
Moreover, the Danish Government was aware since 2005 that Danish airspace and airports were used by CIA for transportation of prisoners.
Taking into account these new revelations, which measures does the Commission intend to take?
Will the Commission request that Portugal and Denmark hold an in-depth and public inquiry to fully investigate these breaches of International Law?
Can the Commission report back to the Parliament on the answers to its letter of 23 July 2007 to the Polish and Romanian Governments requesting detailed information about the outcome of the inquiries which took place in both countries?
Can the Commission report back to the Parliament about the results of the questionnaire sent to all EU member States on their respective counter-terrorism measures?

Vaja Raül, veig que als enllaços del teu bloc apareixen persones d’ICV, els verds europeus, dels socialistes, ERC i inclús CiU. Però no apareix cap enllaç d’organitzacions o persones d’EUiA, IU o GUE-NGL.
És degut a una qüestió de gustos, d’oblits o simplement de mania?
No hi ha cap organització ni persona de les que van col·laborar decisivament a que siguis eurodiputat que mereixi estar enllaçat al teu bloc?
Va home! No siguis sectari que acabarà semblant que tens més simpaties per CiU que per EUiA. O és que és així?
