202. Considers that all European countries should have specific national laws to regulate and
monitor the activities of third countries' secret services on their national territories, to
ensure a better monitoring and supervision also of their activities, as well as to sanction
illegal acts or activities, notably in violation of human rights;
203. Considers the reinforcement of cooperation between the secret and security services of
Member States to be highly desirable, either on a multilateral basis, preferably within an
EU framework, or on a bilateral basis, provided that a legal framework for it is created
ensuring full democratic parliamentary and judicial control and human rights are
respected and protected at all times;
204. Urges the Council and the Member States to establish as a matter of priority a system
for the democratic monitoring and control over the joint and coordinated intelligence
activities at EU level; proposes an important role for Parliament in this monitoring and
control system;
AIR TRAFFIC

order that all military and/or police aircraft fly over or land on another State's territory
only if they have prior authorisation;
206. Calls on Member States to take adequate measures to ensure that overflight clearances
for military and/or police aircraft should be granted only if accompanied by guarantees
that human rights will be respected and monitored;
207. Considers it necessary to enforce effectively, both at EU and national level, the Tokyo
Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft so that
the exercise of jurisdiction is used to ensure the observance of any obligation under a
multilateral international agreement, in particular concerning the protection of human
rights, and that, when appropriate, inspections on board should be undertaken;

provided for in Article 71 EC Treaty, taking into account the recommendations included
in this resolution;

security; asks the Commission, therefore, to take immediate action to ensure that the
recommendations made by the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe as well as by
Parliament are implemented;
210. Calls on the Commission to consider adopting rules on the use, monitoring and
management of European airspace, on the use of EU airports and on the monitoring of
non-commercial aviation;
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS AND AGREEMENTS
211. Urges the Member States that have not yet done so to complete as soon as possible
ratification of the 2003 EU-US Extradition Agreement, while taking adequate steps to
avoid wrongly interpreting Article 12 of the Agreement, thereby ensuring that its scope
does not extend beyond formal extradition and does not legitimise extraordinary
