lpv:translated text	"I have today, together with a majority, voted down this report (184 against, 177 in favour and 13 abstentions). We European Christian Democrats in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats have done this on a huge scale because, in our opinion, the report should have concentrated on evaluating how the Member States have respected human rights, taking the EU’s Charter on Fundamental Rights as a starting point. This was unfortunately not the case. The report is sweeping and poorly formulated, at the same time as diluting and devaluing the concept of human rights. Here is an example: in one and the same item there are references to torture on the one hand, which of course must be condemned outright, and demands for the introduction of euthanasia on the other, which is neither an EU issue nor a human rights issue. The report covers a series of subjects that fall outside the area of competence of the EU and are not covered by the Charter, for example, changing national legislation on marriage between men and women, together with the very concept of the family, or including the extinguishing of life in the form of terminations/abortions under the concept of human rights. This is something to which, of course, Europe’s Christian Democrats say no."@en1
