Mr President, as you can see, the question by my honourable friend, Mr Papayannakis, starts with a press release by Amnesty International. There is a legal problem with the detainees, but there is also a problem with their fundamental rights, their inability to communicate with their families, with drinking water, sanitation and so on.
One of the occupying forces, the United Kingdom, is a Member State of the European Union. Would the Council be prepared to put Mr Papayannakis’s questions to the government of the United Kingdom so that it can give a reply? I think that the whole of Europe is open to criticism as the result of this situation.
