lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the major split in the vote on this report in the relevant committee must mean that Mrs Swiebel has not sought a unifying solution. She has selectively presented a list of areas which are not only deeply controversial politically – for example, in their view of the family and of family legislation – but also demonstrably do not belong among the European Union’s areas of competence. Mrs Swiebel would have to search high and low in the UN Charter on Fundamental Rights, the European Convention’s Charter of Human Rights and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights for a reason why these issues should be included in a report on fundamental rights. Mrs Swiebel, does, for example, the fact that polygamy is not accepted in the European Union mean that Muslims resident in Europe are discriminated against? Is this a crime against human rights? The question no doubt needs to be answered when so many new subjects have been added to the topic of human rights. I would also ask Mrs Swiebel why, in addressing so many new subject areas, she makes no mention, for example, of the fact that the Netherlands has legalised prostitution. There is therefore a need to ‘import’ women into a country in which prostitution is, strangely enough, considered to be a lawful and approved activity. Why does Mrs Swiebel make no mention of her own country’s assisted euthanasia policy, which is abused by some doctors and which leads to people ending their lives without dignity? There are instances in which so-called assisted euthanasia is abused. Why is no mention made of parents’ right to allow their children to grow up in a drug-free society in which parents know that the law is on their side? Mrs Swiebel has been very selective. We Christian Democrats will of course vote against this report, because Mrs Swiebel has failed in an important task of the European Parliament."@en1
