lpv:translated text	"An excellent report, which reflects the criticism of the current state of human rights in the world. The report also includes documents guaranteeing citizens their rights. I am surprised that the priorities do not include the undignified position of women and the failure to guarantee their rights. Our problem is, however, that we sometimes notice failures to observe human rights elsewhere in the world but we do not notice them in our own environs. We assuage our consciences with the fact that we have instruments of justice, by means of which citizens can insist upon their rights. We tend to forget that Lady Justice is sometimes lazy and it takes her a long time to make decisions. Basic human rights include political rights. Political ethics are lacking if we fail to acknowledge such rights for our political rivals. Mr President, I am talking about the undignified position of the non-attached members in this Parliament. We are able to work, thank you, but we are not included in your Hontov system. This seems to be solely for the elite, or is it just one of those documents which subscribes to the principle of winner takes all? Mr President, I was very aggrieved when the President of the European Parliament did not have a seat at the table for the negotiations with President Bush. I was very pleased that the situation was rectified, because it was not just matter of the personal position of Mr Borrell, it was a matter of the position of the President of the European Parliament. I therefore ask that you do not see my contribution as relating to individual people but to our voters, who are entitled to respect."@en1
