lpv:spoken text	"For me, the main importance of Mr Catania’s report is to remind us that we inside the EU have our own issues to confront. We should therefore be very careful about taking a holier-than-thou approach when commenting on human rights outside the EU. I served on the temporary committee into extraordinary rendition by the CIA. It was principally a platform for the left to attack their favourite bête noire, the United States. In my view, we should be grateful to the CIA and the United States for helping to protect Europeans from terrorists bent on killing innocent citizens. It is an indictment of our own societies that we had to rely on America to do the job for us. Absolutism over human rights is playing into the hands of those who would destroy us, and putting the human rights of our own citizens at risk. I therefore voted against the report."@en1
