"British Conservatives recognise the important role of the EU in promoting human rights and democracy in the world. We can support a number of important points that are contained in the Cappato report.
However, there are a number of paragraphs that we fundamentally disagree with. For instance, paragraphs 2, 5, 14, 15, 30 and 38. In addition, British Conservative Members have, in accordance with convention, been given a free vote on matters relating to the death penalty and abortion.
We have voted in favour on the final vote because we wish to make clear our support, in principle, for the cause of upholding and strengthening human rights throughout the world. We believe the EU’s Member States have an important role to play in this task."@en1
