lpv:translated text	". The Oostlander report is just like a Russian doll: it has secret agendas hidden inside. So who can understand Parliament’s vote in favour of it today? Some voted in favour to acknowledge the facelift that the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy had given it in order to reduce its initial harshness. Others voted in favour in order not to give a negative signal to Turkey and instantly dismiss its accession. Others voted positively in order to support the demand for a Europe based on Judaeo-Christian roots, a debate that is currently raging in the Convention. It is this demand that the socialists tried to remove through Amendment No 12 which was rejected by 172 votes to 162. The confusion of the implicit questions put to MEPs and the loss of Amendment No 12 led me to vote against this report. I refer to my speech on 4 June in plenary: ‘If paragraph 3, which invokes European values essentially based on the Judaeo-Christian culture is not amended, it will be a slap in the face for a country with a Muslim government but with a fundamentally secular tradition. We would consider it to be unacceptable, the return of old demons and the interference of religion in politics’."@en1
