lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, if the report kept the promise contained in its title, there would be nothing I would like more than to vote for it. Yet this is the very thing it does not do. Let me briefly explain why. The key word is the Internet. Already, everything that is illegal offline is also illegal on the Internet. That is a fact, but word does not seem to have got round this House yet. It is thanks to other groups that providers really can only be prosecuted if they are aware of the illegal content of their websites. The rapporteur has done everything he can to criminalise the Internet as a whole. This, in my view, wonderfully reflects the rapporteur's true intention. The second point about the approach adopted in the report is that it is thoughts, above all, which are to be punished. There is far less focus on deeds. This takes us away from the principle of punishing hate crime – that is, acts that really are committed for racist motives – and moves us towards mind policing. This leads to more censorship and less freedom of the press and freedom of speech. That is something we cannot support. My final point is that anti-racism as it is defined here would mean achieving tangible improvements in migrants' living conditions. What does the report do? The report does not tackle institutional racism, whereby Eurodac is just the tip of the iceberg, and nor does it address economic racism or the pure racism which was agreed on once again in precise terms at Seville, namely not only expanding Fortress EU but going as far as to keep third states in a direct stranglehold. This is why anti-racists cannot take this report at all seriously."@en1
