lpv:spoken text	". The British Conservatives, however, are forced reluctantly to vote against the resolution because of a number of references which we do not believe are helpful either to understanding or to good relations. There is, for example, a reference to unilateral approaches to problems that is offensive and which ignores the pre-eminent role which the United States as the world's largest and most powerful country must inevitably play if the values to which we subscribe are to be upheld. The insistence that the United States share Europe's view on the ICC is also made plain - despite the problems that an unamended statute would cause for the United States at present. Equally there is no need for Europe continually to seek disagreement with the United States over the death penalty which remains legal in international law. We need to respect their difference of opinion, not attempt to raise it as a symbol of European moral superiority over the United States. There has been too much anti-Americanism in Europe recently and Europe needs to remember what it owes to America. That is not fully reflected in the resolution as it stands. Lastly we cannot support QMV in the CFSP."@en1
