After a meeting with EU Foreign Policy chief Javier Solana in Brussels today PACE President René van der Linden said he was pleased that Mr Solana, like Vice-President Frattini before him, has extended his full support to PACE's enquiry into the alleged secret CIA detention centres and extraordinary rendition flights in Council of Europe member states.
"Every day, further details and fresh accusations are emerging. This shows the seriousness of the allegations that have been made and underlines the importance of the Assembly's enquiry. They are one more reason why Council of Europe member states, the EU, Eurocontrol and the US authorities, amongst others, should extend their full co-operation to Mr Marty and his team," Mr van der Linden said.
