".
The annual report on the human rights situation in the European Union presented today is an interminable document that very often steps beyond the competences of our Assembly and tends to blame the Member States, as if they were dangerous delinquents and recidivists in this field, whereas we are on the contrary a part of the world where these rights are well protected.
We therefore voted in favour of Amendment No 49, which proposed an alternative resolution drawn up by our colleague Mr Ribeiro e Castro, a shorter text denouncing the expansionism of the European Parliament and concentrating our thoughts on the real problems of the day, first and foremost among which are terrorism, trafficking in human beings, child sex abuse, contempt for the family and other ills that are all too real.
As was to be feared, our Assembly has persisted with its initial resolution, adding to its previous errors calls for homosexual married couples to be granted equal rights with those of families, for the total abolition of double jeopardy and for various measures further relaxing asylum policy while at the same time restricting the possibilities for expulsion. We therefore voted against."@en1
