lpv:spoken text	". – I wish to place on the record the fact that I did not participate in the vote on the Lambert report (). My non-participation should not be seen as opposition to the principle of the proposed directive but rather to the inclusion of certain elements in the report which I feel are inappropriate and would lead to a diminution of the underlying beliefs in the protection of those most in need of our support. The following are some of the different elements with which I disagree. The definition of the family goes far beyond the accepted norm in most Member States and other countries; this issue should have been addressed more sensitively and the report fails badly in this respect. The deadlines set under various articles are too short. The reference to the Charter of Fundamental Rights is used inappropriately in the report. Extending the scope of the directive beyond those who are suffering persecution will ultimately reduce the legitimate opportunity for protecting those in greatest need. For these and other reasons I felt it inappropriate to participate in the vote."@en1
