"Mr President, as has already been said, by just five votes Parliament has provided the news reports with one of the most disappointing and shameful pages on our work in this forum: a report entitled ‘on the human rights situation in the European Union’ and which, on the contrary, has violated, or is violating, many of the rights which most affect citizens. Let us consider one of many: the institution of the family, which is, to say the least, distorted by this report; a family model which proposes the free union between men or women of the same sex and liberalised single-parent or, precisely, homosexual, adoption laws. And furthermore, a country is put forward as a model – the Netherlands to be exact – which, in addition to these things, has official euthanasia and liberalised drug policies.
Well, if this is the social model which is now coming out of Parliament, I dissociate myself from it and – here lies the weak spot – the majority of Member States dissociate themselves from it too: only two or three indirectly follow the Dutch model. There will now be an institutional deadlock, because neither the Commission nor the Council – they have already announced this – are willing to accept this trend. We have missed an opportunity to be clearer and more coherent."@en1
