lpv:translated text	". Mr President, everybody should read and study the excellent report by my friend Mr Howitt very carefully, because in it they will find challenges and responses. At a time when the great debate is security – and there is no question that security is a great issue – our fears must not lead us to question our basic principles in terms of human rights. There can be no European political project without making human rights a priority. Lowering our guard in terms of human rights – and that may be what we are doing – means surrendering democratic standards and the European Union’s greatest values. We cannot permit this kind of double standard for the sake of . Such double standards are unsustainable since they greatly harm the credibility of our democracy. People suffering from persecution, torture, discrimination fear and death expect us to take decisive and coherent action to defend their rights. Furthermore, speaking with one voice within international bodies – as the Commissioner and the representative of the Council have said – defending human rights with the voices of twenty-five countries behind us, with the energy that the Union must apply at this time, will strengthen all of us and will at last make it possible for us not to have to go back to thinking, as we are at the moment, about what we call torture, what we call murder, what we call security and what we call the crucial defence of human rights."@en1
