lpv:spoken text	". – British Labour members of the PES have voted in support of the Lambert report. We are convinced that the way forward for the European Union is to move towards a common EU policy on asylum. This report on minimum standards is one important part of the evolution of this common policy. We reject the hard right-wing view of those conservatives in the EPP who seek to restrict the right to asylum and protection. As socialists, we believe that it is essential to be compassionate and sympathetic in our approach. In working towards a common policy for fifteen countries and ultimately twenty-five, there will always be some variations in detail. We believe these differences should not be used to divide us in our efforts to find compromises, instead we should be proud enough to build on the common ground that unites us. Therefore, whilst there are some aspects of the Lambert report which we as Labour MEPs might question, the overall direction of the report is undoubtedly sound, hence our vote in favour."@en1
