". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing more splendid than human rights, or in other words the right to freedom and the right to truth. Broadly speaking, genuine freedom is the most important of all human rights. What this House is debating, however, is yet another new agency which is to be given institutional form, and which has been clothed in fine rhetoric. This agency will of course be set up at the expense of European taxpayers. A new law is being introduced that will prevail in the European Union, and this supreme law, my dear friends, is Parkinson’s Law. What this stands for is yet another desk, yet another few dozen secretaries and yet another few dozen policy makers, whose job will presumably be to cover up the truth. This is a misguided way of doing politics, and it will get us nowhere. What is needed is equality before the law and honest information. This would guarantee the existence of a genuine democracy, in which people would choose what they needed and turn their backs on those who violated real human rights. I protest at such an interpretation of human rights and at the establishment of yet another agency."@en1
