"Madam President, two days ago the British Liberal Democrat Party said that the UK was not obstructing the EU from ratifying the EU Convention on Human Rights and persuaded their party to vote against censuring David Cameron in the report I authored. Since then, a Conservative press release has been issued saying that ‘Prime Minister Cameron is absolutely right to block the EU accession’. We have also heard the official Tories’ so-called spokesperson on human rights state in this debate that they are obstructing, and a Conservative MP from the South-West has stated that the party did not endorse the position statement produced by its own Foreign Office officials. Apologies should be made. Liberal Democrats should apologise for their vote and admit the truth, Conservatives should apologise to their own civil servants, and I do apologise. I apologise to the Council for my country’s shameful breaking of its Treaty obligations, and to all those who fought in the Second World War to create freedoms for our continent, freedoms which their children seem prepared to diminish."@en1
