lpv:translated text	". We have today voted on the report on human rights in the world in 2003 and the EU’s policy on the matter. It is in many ways a good analysis with well-formulated conclusions. We believe, however, that the report should have been confined to those areas of human freedoms and rights that are part of the UN Charter. By extending the report and introducing new so-called human rights with the character of social rights, the demands for traditional human freedoms and rights and the criticism of countries that do not comply with these are weakened. We are not, for example, opposed to social rights, dependent upon a country’s economic conditions. The position of the disabled is, of course, infinitely better in Sweden than in poor countries such as Bangladesh and Laos. There is, however, no reason for taking a less serious view of violations of human and democratic freedoms and rights, just because these are committed in poor countries."@en1
