"Mr President, a practical approach to this report will immediately highlight its most important virtue – the fact that European institutions will no longer be able to ignore the pitiful situation of human rights protection in daily life in the Member States. As the rapporteur says, this annual report will, in future, be valued and possibly even feared. Though I fully share Mr Sylla's view, I must confess that I have some reluctance in accepting a report subjected to the pressure of current standards of political correctness, which passes over in silence more important considerations such as evident breaches of human rights and political freedoms in some Member States such as the Kingdom of Spain. Commissioner Vitorino, in paragraph 22, the report clearly calls, as an urgent matter, for action to be taken in favour of prisoners who suffer from serious diseases. Bautista Barandalla, a Navarrian prisoner, suffers from an incurable illness. His case is the object of my written question to the Commission tabled last March. I invite everybody to take a look at Commissioner Vitorino's response on 11 June 2003. If I were you I would feel very ashamed of it, Mr Vitorino."@en1
