"The Moderate delegation to the European Parliament considers it incredibly important that a parliamentary report be written each year on the ways in which the EU Member States are complying with human rights. Human rights are the most important foundation stone of European cooperation. It is self-evident that we should make just as tough demands upon our own countries as upon the candidate countries and other non-EU countries.
It is, however, unfortunate that the report does not simply focus upon fundamental rights but also expresses certain political aspirations. Irrespective of whether or not one shares these political visions, this method is in danger of devaluing the importance of fundamental rights. That is why we cannot vote for the report in its entirety.
We are also voting against item 43, because it is wrongly worded. Naturally, the principle that it should not be possible to convict someone twice for the same crime is fundamental. That does not, however, mean that imprisonment and deportation should be excluded as punishments for serious crimes.
We are also opposed to the EU’s interfering in issues concerning forms of family relationship, because we believe that, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, family policy is a matter for the individual nations."@en1
