lpv:translated text	". The ΕU never misses an opportunity to brag about its principles and values and to give everyone else lessons in good manners. Just how hypocritical this is can be seen from the fact that it considers the prosecutions and bans against communists in numerous candidate countries and the Annan plan for Cyprus to be compatible with its principles. In political practice, its principles are so broad as to allow room for everything which is in the interests of monopolies and so narrow as to exclude the fundamental rights of the workers. The Commission communication and the report by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs address the matter as a legal matter and focus on the procedure for applying Article 7 of the Treaty, which makes provision for measures to be taken against Member States which violate the principles of the ΕU. This is not just a legal issue, it is a deeply political issue. In addition, the report does not for a moment doubt the 'good intentions' of the ΕU. Nonetheless, it does contain some positive points, such as those which refer to the need for a higher standard of protection of fundamental rights, tolerance, the promotion of a political climate in which people feel threatened and so on. That is why we MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece did not vote against the report but abstained from the vote."@en1
