lpv:translated text	". The main aim of this report is to strengthen the European Union’s positions in the United Nations. It presents a set of proposals for the institutional reform of the UN and reiterates the desire to develop and promote democratic values and respect for human rights. I must, however, disagree with some of the points it makes. Firstly, we have paragraphs in which the rapporteur appears to forget the fact that no European Constitution has been approved, and that all we have is a Draft Constitutional Treaty! Next, the European Union has no legal personality or Minister for Foreign Affairs. We are then presented with the impractical idea of enlarging the United Nations Security Council, giving the EU a seat, without considering the more than likely opposition of the other countries that have places on the Security Council, or the fact that it would be hard to persuade France and the United Kingdom to give up their seats. The suggestion to abolish the simple right of veto is also entirely inappropriate. In summary, I voted in favour of the report because of the fundamental underlying ideas, but I rejected part of recital G and items 5, 6, 11, 18, 33 and 35. As regards the amendments that have been tabled, one that I felt it was crucial to support is No 8, which reiterates the idea of a universal ban on human cloning."@en1
