".
I have voted in favour of the Brok report, although I did vote against paragraph 31 for two reasons:
1. Portugal did not participate in the Second World War and it therefore makes no sense for my country to sign a common ‘European Declaration’. We cannot admit to having committed crimes and atrocities against humanity when, fortunately, we did not commit or condone any such action;
2. No mention is made of the crimes and atrocities committed in many of the candidate countries after the Second World War by Soviet communism, from which this round of enlargement is providing definitive deliverance. History cannot use two different sets of balances for facts which should inspire in us equal ethical and moral repulsion."@en1
