The PASOK political group’s vote on the motion in Mrs Joke Swiebel’s report is a clear vote against, as far as Greece is concerned. On most points criticising Greece or urging it to make improvements, either the relevant articles of Greek law have already been amended and the called-for improvement already introduced or the first steps toward legislative reform have already been taken.
For example:
1. We are urged (paragraph 17) to abolish the death penalty. However, the three facts are omitted:
a) the death penalty has been abolished, except in the military penal code, and then only for crimes in times of war;
b) the bill to abolish the death penalty in the military penal code has already been drafted;
c) no death penalty imposed is ever carried out.
2. Conscientious objectors:
a) the new arrangements allowing exemption from military service are now included in a constitutional decree;
b) Greek legislation no longer limits these favourable arrangements to religious objection; they now extend to conscientious objection in general."@en1
