lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think that we all remember various resolutions from Parliament against the death penalty, which led to an increase in recent years in the countries who have abolished the death penalty, or at least in those who have had a practical moratorium, in which executions have not taken place in recent years. Today we are talking about three countries in particular: South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, in which some measures have been taken which at least give us hope. In Japan there has been a bill, and the Japanese Diet has created a league against the death penalty. In South Korea there has been a bill, which was signed by 155 of the 273 representatives. In Taiwan the number of crimes punishable by the death penalty has been reduced. I think that these three facts can lead us to believe that in these three countries, in the not too distant future, the death penalty could be abolished. We should think not only about the harsh conditions under which prisoners condemned to death live, but also that there are 70 prisoners in South Korea and more than 50 prisoners in Taiwan who are still awaiting the death penalty. In the European Union we have concluded that the death penalty is barbaric. We therefore support the proposal from the European Council that universal abolition of the death penalty should be achieved without too much delay, so that we can look to the future with greater hope."@en1
