lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the excellent report by Mr Mavromattis on the important subject of relations between the media and development. Enshrined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948, freedom of expression and information is recognised as a fundamental right. Freedom of the media is essential to the good governance of public or private bodies and contributes to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals of creating a safe, poverty-free world by 2015. Freedom of the media is essential to access to knowledge and to transparency and it must be entirely independent. It makes a great contribution to combating ignorance, that ancient scourge of humanity, and it prevents corruption. Although I regret that the issue of the responsibility of authors, holders, users and distributors of information has not been better incorporated, I welcome this report’s significant contribution to freedom, peace and democracy in the world."@en1
