lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should first like to stress that as far as our Group is concerned, the emergency resolution is, above all, a means of exerting considerable pressure and is intended to address a current problem where the lack of control at political level may accentuate an existing risk. In this case, however, we believe that the proposed text does not warrant the use of urgent procedure. We believe this all the more because on studying the file, we have all noted that the facts reported do not have the political scope declared in the first recitals of the resolution before us. It is more a matter of infringements of common law in part of Egypt than acts resulting from religious antagonism. We should, moreover, mention the inelegant way in which some of the paragraphs in the letter sent by the President of the Egyptian Parliament to the President of the European Parliament were simply copied out. Taking on arguments presented by others to defend oneself does not seem to me very commendable, even intellectually. Furthermore, knowing the aggressive interpretation that some Islamic circles give our initiatives, we are afraid of effectively giving them a weapon to show that the European Parliament is going too far in relation to a situation that does not justify such zealousness and such political determination. The Liberal Group will not, therefore, vote in favour of this resolution. We shall abstain, while reserving the right to table a motion for a resolution that should lead the European Parliament to take a view that is different to the very limited view of what is happening in Egypt and in the whole of North Africa in terms of the defence of the rights of minorities and democratic rights."@en1
