lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the importance of today’s debate lies in Article 6º of the Treaty of European Union itself, which states that the Union is founded on the principles of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, principles which are common to the Member States. In other words, European integration has been achieved on the basis of fully respecting, guaranteeing and promoting fundamental and human rights, in which the well-being and dignity of its citizens must be the inspiration and goal for every and any action taken by any Member State and by the Community institutions. Hence the importance of the European Parliament’s Annual Report on Human Rights, which has provided the ideal opportunity to take a close look at the EU’s human rights policy, within the Union and beyond it, and at the role that the European Parliament has played, of which we can be proud. Hence my disappointment with the report that has been presented; with its lack of balance and rigor. The report presented to us last year by Mr Cornillet was rich in ideas and analysis and constituted a milestone and an extremely positive step towards defining a methodology for monitoring and evaluation, which should underpin any human rights policy, based of course on the European Charter covering these rights. Whilst containing aspects that deserve our support, such as the issues of terrorism, trafficking in human beings and human rights and the highly topical problem of achieving the necessary balance between security and human rights, the report we have been presented with this year however, gives way in some points to demagogy and generally shies away from the rigorous principles which a resolution adopted by the European Parliament should uphold. This is why, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I agree more with the text of the alternative resolution tabled by Mr Ribeiro Castro, which shall have my vote."@en1
