 | | Dominique Perben, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, announces that the French government has decided to respond favourably to the requests for judicial cooperation presented by the American government in the context of the proceedings against M. Zacarias Moussaoui in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. |
 | | In line with its consistent position on this case, the French government has obtained from the United States the guarantee that information on M. Moussaoui communicated by France will not be used, either directly or indirectly, against him or any one else for the purpose of delivering or carrying out the death penalty. |
 | | This decision was taken following a meeting on 24 November in Paris between Dominique Perben and his German opposite number, Mrs Brigitte Zypries, who adopted an identical position in the face of the requests for judicial cooperation presented to the German government by the United States government with respect to M. Zacarias Moussaoui./. |
