    Most of the EU states authorities have known that CIA airplanes
    are landing on their territory and secret prisons functioning, but
    this was carefully concealed form the public, states a report by a
    special commission of the European Parliament. Parts of the report
    were published on Tuesday. France Presse reports that Claudio Fava,
    head of the commission, stated that the most of the Governments have
    actively or passively cooperated with the CIA.

    According to Mr. Fava, the heads of the European states have well known
    about the prisons were people suspected in terrorism are illegally
    kept. He added that only the authorities of Spain and Germany were
    willing to cooperate with the commission.

    In the report of the commission is said that CIS secret prisons are
    functioning in Austria, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain,
    Italy, Poland, Portugal and Sweden, as well as Bosnia, Macedonia and
    Turkey, which are not EU members. It is also said that CIA airplanes
    have landed in the European states at least 1245 times. The airplanes
    were transporting illegal prisoners - terrorism suspects.

    Evidence of about 130 people - EU officials, special service employees
    and reporters, were collected during the 6 month long activity of
    the commission. Since 2005 rights protection organizations have
    been declaring that existence of such "air prisons" and illegal
    places of the execution is a severe violation of the terms of the
    International Law.
