lpv:translated text	"I have voted against the recommendation by the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market not to waive Mr Camre’s immunity. It is possible to hold many opinions, both for and against the racism paragraph and freedom of expression. Every other Danish citizen would, however, want to be brought before a court to have their case tried. Even Members of the Danish Parliament would have their immunity waived so that their cases might be tried before the courts. The EU enters into agreements whereby ordinary citizens may be extradited to countries other than their own, solely on suspicion. Indeed, we would also extradite our citizens for prosecution in the United States, where the use of the death penalty cannot be ruled out. In this situation, I find it completely unprecedented for a Danish parliamentarian to be able, on a relatively innocent matter, to hide behind a majority of the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market. Mr Camre is risking neither his life nor his freedom in a matter concerning racist statements. At most, he is in danger of the courts’ confirming the view taken by ordinary people, namely that his statements go beyond what is acceptable in terms of spreading lies and hatred concerning people from religions other than Mr Camre’s own."@en1
