MEPs in US Congress to debate CIA renditions and counter-terrorism measures

Nine Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) took part in the first formal joint briefing for members of two US Congress subcommittees on 17 April 2007 to discuss CIA renditions and other counter-terrorism measures with transatlantic implications. 'We were delighted that Congress took this initiative and encouraged by the robust support and thanks voiced by Congressmen for Parliament's report and for the year-long work that its committee on CIA renditions had undertaken' said EP Delegation Chairman Jonathan Evans (EPP-ED, UK).
