lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, at the recent Mafra summit, the Russian side proposed founding an institute to monitor the human rights situation in the EU countries. The Russian representatives commend this initiative as a political measure to counterbalance continued EU criticism of the worsening human rights situation in Russia. The institute in question will be financed by Russia. In my opinion, the EU leaders should in principle avoid such attempts to politicise human rights issues. It is true that there exist adequate human rights dialogue mechanisms between the EU and Russia. These mechanisms unfortunately have not been adequately used, due mainly to the lack of Russian response to the problems raised by the EU. Following this idea, one could imagine that, next, President Ahmadinejad will insist on establishing on EU territory an Iranian-financed institute on human rights and Holocaust studies. I am convinced that initiatives like this can only discredit the noble cause of defending human rights."@en1
