15/03/2004 (Agence Europe) - ACP countries (Africa/Caribbean/Pacific) have strongly condemned last week's "atrocious attacks…which took the lives of many innocent victims" on 11 March Madrid. In a press statement the ACP group expressed its deepest sympathy and solidarity with the Spanish authorities and shares its "feeling of revulsion and disgust in the face of such horribly shameful terrorist actions". The ACP group "affirms its commitment to co-operation with Spain, a partner country which has always been sensitive to ACP concerns in the framework of the ACP-European Union partnership". Given its deep concern at the resurgence of terrorist cells in the world, the ACP group also reiterates "its determination to remain united in the battle of the world's nations against terrorism" and calls for international co-ordination in this struggle.
