"Mr President, we believe that it is particularly important that in the debate on the budget, amendments have now been approved in committee which support the Commission and ask it to back the campaigns and actions in favour of the moratorium on executions and, in the long term, the abolition of the death penalty. Why am I saying this, Mr President? Because this House has often made commitments on specific issues and has had successes, alongside defeats, as regards the commutation or stays of executions.
The important thing is to mark the end of the twentieth century by means of action by Europe – Europe as the home of human rights – involving the abolition of the death penalty. All over the world, there is a vitally important campaign which Europe should be leading. I would ask the Commission to undertake to implement these objectives to make Europe the global home of political action against the death penalty."@en1
