"We have abstained from voting on Mr Andersson’s report on harassment at the workplace. We are basically well disposed towards the European Union. European integration provides an opportunity to find solutions to cross-border problems, such as those concerning the environment, trade, movement across borders, human rights and conflict management. We also believe in the principle of subsidiarity whereby decisions are to be taken as close as possible to those whom they affect. That is why we are actively pursuing the issue of a constitution for the European Union in which the distribution of responsibilities is clear to everyone. It must be perfectly clear to all citizens that the EU must only attend to those issues which it is best qualified to deal with, namely the cross-border issues. Harassment at the workplace is, of course, a problem, and as much as possible must be done in various ways to do away with such harassment. We do not, however, believe that measures to combat this problem are best taken at EU level. For us, it is important for the EU to concentrate instead on areas in which it can really do some good. This is not such an area."@en1
