The European Parliament’s civil liberties committee (LIBE) has submitted a number of questions to the Council of the EU over its work in relation to the CIA rendition programme. The committee is seeking answers on, amongst other things:
whether the Council has apologised for providing incomplete information to the Parliament on meetings with US officials;
whether the Council has formally acknowledged Member States’ involvement in the rendition programme; and
whether the Council has cooperated fully with “the truth-finding and accountability processes in the Member States”.
The questions were tabled on 2 March. The Council is yet to respond.
