Hr. formand, efter visse indflydelsesrige avisers påstande om hemmelige CIA-fængsler i nogle af EU's medlemsstater samt i nogle ansøgerlande vil Kommissionen gerne påpege, at et betydeligt antal medlemsstater og ansøgerlande har udsendt offentlige erklæringer med en kategorisk afvisning af beskyldningerne.
Mr President, following allegations, reported in certain influential newspapers, of the existence of clandestine jails run by the CIA in some European Union Member States and also in some accession candidate countries, the Commission would like to point out that a significant number of Member States and candidate countries have issued public statements categorically denying the accusations.
