lpv:translated text	"Mr President, emphasis on the importance of human rights has been a special feature of pan-European organisations during the entire period since the Second World War. The importance of human rights has not waned as the years have gone by; on the contrary, it has grown. At a time when trade between the EU and third countries has increased and the EU is involved in counter-terrorist activity, it is important to remember that human rights are not of subordinate importance or completely insignificant. Human rights are not subordinate to terrorism or active commerce. The EU can have a huge influence on human rights if it speaks with one voice. The EU has not always managed to do that, although of course it has sometimes. At present one would hope that the EU could concentrate more than it does now on eradicating hunger and poverty. Hunger and real poverty are among the worst violations of human rights right now in the world. I wish to thank the rapporteur, Mr Howitt, for the excellent cooperation that he has shown, and for taking into consideration the many amendments we have tabled. Furthermore, I was delighted to see that the rapporteur expressly emphasised the importance of the fact that the report resulted from cooperation between Parliament, the Council and the Commission. Only in this way will NGOs representing different political groups and their views come to the fore."@en1
