".
The European Parliament’s annual report on the situation as regards fundamental rights in the EU is an important tool for understanding how fundamental rights are being respected and protected in Europe as a whole and within each of the Member States. We need a rigorous and effective assessment of the quality of that protection, enabling a clear overview of the current situation as regards fundamental rights. Then we will be able to take decisions in this field.
I am sorry to say that this year’s report does not fulfil these requirements. The first draft of the report might have met with a broad consensus, but this final version is totally unacceptable. The rapporteur has opted to draw up a sort of shopping list in which he criticises a selection of EU Member States at the same time as suggesting unrealistic and irrelevant proposals.
The following proposals are completely unacceptable:
granting the right of asylum to victims of persecution by non-government agents;
granting access to education to all children present in a given country, even if they are there illegally;
passing European legislation on homosexual marriage;
allowing third-country nationals to vote in local elections and elections to the European Parliament."@en1
