lpv:translated text	"I have voted against the report. It is probably the first time in the history of the European Parliament that a rapporteur has presented a report on human rights which, for good reasons, has been so fiercely criticised and has attracted such a strikingly narrow majority of votes (274 in favour, 269 against and 14 abstentions). The report reflects options selected on a party political basis and misuses the concept of human rights. This is due to the fact that the rapporteur (by discussing, for example, family legislation and the rights of Greek monks in relation to their properties in Mount Athos) ranges far and wide beyond the original remit and parameters of the report, which are constituted by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. In this way, the concept of human rights is diluted, watered down and devalued, which is pretty serious. I have grave doubts as to how secure a basis there is for the far-reaching assertion in item133 to the effect that in seven EU Member States, including Sweden, a ‘climate of impunity’ prevails in relation to misconduct and violence by police and prison staff. Since the issue in question is not an EU matter, we European and Christian Democrats were, however, successful in removing item83 (279 votes in favour, 259 against and 9 abstentions), with its invitation to the Member States ‘to open up marriage to same-sex couples’."@en1
