lpv:translated text	"Mr President, “the creation of an ever closer Union among the peoples of Europe and the maintenance and development of the Union as an area of freedom, security and justice are based on general and absolute respect for human dignity, which is unique to each person, yet common to all, and inviolable.” So reads Item B in the motion for a resolution we have before us. I consider it to be great progress that the European Parliament has specified and established a view of human beings which is deeply rooted in Europe’s history, culture, popular movements and spiritual traditions. I am therefore pleased that my amendment concerning human dignity – unique to each person, yet common to all and inviolable – obtained support in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, for we must establish a common view of human beings as the effective basis for the EU’s urgent, global fight against the death penalty, its struggle on the side of life and also its fight against torture, against the sex trade and against sexual exploitation. In our capacity as citizens, we have freedoms and rights, but we also have responsibilities. I therefore welcome the fact that responsibilities have been incorporated in accordance with my wording in Item E. I would also remind you of Amendments Nos 24 and 25 which the Group of the European People’s Party and European Democrats have submitted and which will be voted on tomorrow. By way of conclusion, I want to discuss the fact that, in November 1999, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities in the European Parliament made a statement to the effect that the family does not have any special rights but only individual rights. This statement totally conflicts with the UN’s and the Council of Europe’s fundamental human rights charters concerning the rights of the family."@en1
