lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I must say that the arrogance of this EU knows no bounds. Not satisfied with dictating to Member States that they must not avail of the ultimate deterrent – the death penalty – it now wishes to dictate to the rest of the world. Awful as the fate of the Bulgarian nurses in Libya is, and while this House should be vigorous in protesting against their situation, it does not justify us demanding a global ban on the death penalty. Wrongful imprisonment is intolerable, but it does not lead rational people to oppose all imprisonment. No, I say that if there is a fair, transparent, human rights compliant judicial system, with a reliable appeal process, then a sovereign nation state is perfectly entitled to deploy the death penalty for capital crimes, if that is the democratically expressed wish of its people. They, not we, have the right to choose what is right for them."@en1
