Brussels, 08/06/2007 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission has again called on member states accused of hosting secret detention centres to urgently conduct independent inquiries to repair the damage done to victims. In the explanatory statement of his second draft report published on Friday 8 June, Dick Marty, rapporteur for the Council of Europe on secret detention and extraordinary rendition, assures that “the highest authorities” in Poland and Romania “knew about the illegal goings on of the CIA on their territory”. Mr Marty said that both these countries sheltered secret detention centres between 2002 and 2005. In Poland, he mainly accuses Aleksander Kwasniewski, former president, and Marek Siwiec, Socialist MEP who was head of Poland's national security office at the time. In Romania, he casts doubt on the former president, Ion Iliescu, on the current president, Traian Basescu, and on several other officials. Friso Roscam-Abbing, spokesman for Commissioner Franco Frattini, said on Friday that the Commission was “very concerned indeed” about the conclusions of Mr Marty's report, but refused to comment in detail on these allegations until the Commission had scrutinised the 70-page document. “Effective investigations should be fully carried out as quickly as possible in the member states concerned - and this is not yet the case - in order to establish both responsibilities as well as to enable the victims to obtain compensation for damages”, he said.
