lpv:translated text	"Today, the European Parliament voted on a report regarding the state of human rights in Europe. 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, which is exemplified by the fact that, in one and the same item, there are references to torture on the one hand, which of course must be condemned outright, and euthanasia on the other, which is not an EU issue and does not count as a human right, either. The report covers a series of issues that fall outside the area of competence of the EU and are not covered by the Charter. The report does, however, cover several important issues such as trafficking in human beings, women’s rights, asylum policy and the rule of law, to which I would like to lend my support. The whole assessment of the report will, however, be such that I have chosen to abstain in the final vote."@en1
