Following three days of meetings in Bucharest with Romanian officials, journalists and NGO representatives and members of the European Parliament's Temporary Committee on allegations of illegal CIA activity in Europe said on Thursday that more investigation of the CIA's possible actions in Romania was needed.
"There are questions which have still not been answered", said the hair of the Committee Portuguese MEP Carlos Coelho.
Investigations into alleged CIA activities in Romania, he added, "should continue and go deeper than was the case up to now".
Romania has denied the existence of any CIA illegal prisons but has not ruled out the possibility that secret US flights made stopovers in the country to refuel.
Committee rapporteur, Italian MEP Claudio Fava said, "There seems to have been a lack of willingness on their (Romania's) part to try to clarify what happened."
He said because of insufficient oversight, "one still cannot exclude" that US secret services operated in Romania on a clandestine basis.
