Polish authorities drag their feet

Brussels, 10/11/2006 (Agence Europe) - Polish authorities are seriously dragging their feet in terms of cooperating with the investigation into alleged CIA illegal activities in Europe, explained the President of the European Parliament's temporary investigation committee on Friday. Carlos Coelho (EPP-ED, Portugal) told reporters on Friday after a three-day visit to Poland that the MEPs had not encountered such a lack of will to cooperate in any other country. He said that nobody from the Polish parliament or government had deigned to meet the members of the EP investigative committee, part from Marek Pasionek, an under-secretary of state at the Polish prime minister's chancellery office. US charity Human Rights Watch suspects Poland of hosting several the CIA's secret gulags in Europe. The EP investigative committee will be unveiling the first draft of its report on the CIA affair by the end of the month. The report will be discussed by the European Parliament in February. (bc)
