"I voted in favour of this report because appropriate measures must be taken to ensure that human rights and fundamental freedoms are not compromised or diminished in times of economic crisis. The European Union should continue to increase its efforts, mainstream more effectively human rights and democracy across development cooperation and ensure that EU development programmes contribute to the fulfilment by partner countries of their international human rights obligations. The European Parliament welcomes the landmark convention by the Council of Europe on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, creating a comprehensive framework to prevent violence, protect victims and end impunity, and calls on all Member States and the EU to quickly sign and ratify this convention. The European Parliament condemns all forms of human rights violations, where people were discriminated against on the basis of work and origin, and limited access to justice for victims. Furthermore, the EU and its Member States should endorse the draft UN Principles and Guidelines for the effective elimination of discrimination based on work and descent. As far as freedom of expression and speech is concerned, the EU should increase support for media freedom, protect independent journalists, reduce the digital divide and facilitate Internet access."@en1
