And that is why several other EU countries are now considering receiving ex-detainees cleared for release, but who, for compelling reasons, cannot return to their countries of origin. We in the EU expect the US to do likewise; if it is safe to release these people in Europe, it is safe to do so in the US.
虽然关闭关塔那摩监狱并重新安置其囚犯的首要责任在美国人身上，但欧洲人也希望能从旁给予协助。这也解释了下面一些行为：几个欧盟成员国重新接收了那些关押在关塔那摩监狱的本国公民和居留者；法国最近接收一个曾经入狱的阿尔及利亚籍囚犯；而另外几个欧盟成员国正考虑接收那些被排除了恐怖嫌疑，却因为某些不可抗因素而难以回到其所属国的囚犯。至此欧盟人希望美国也能采取同样的行动：如果在欧洲释放这些囚犯是安全的，那么在美国应该也一样。
