lpv:translated text	". Madam President, Mrs Yade, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, today, we celebrated the 20 anniversary of the Sakharov Prize, and last week saw the 60 anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – and these two events have never been so relevant. We must reinforce our on-going efforts to implement human and fundamental rights, not only in Europe but also worldwide. Mrs Yade, I have the greatest respect for you for having the courage to criticise your own government’s relations with Libya here. Not everyone would dare to do that, and I believe that that is what is known as ‘first putting one’s own house in order’. In 2004, the European Parliament was assured that there was a group of Commissioners who would concern themselves with fundamental rights. I am afraid that we have yet to be presented with a report on this; and, unfortunately, we have seen violations of freedom to travel in Italy, of freedom of expression in Member States, and of the right to individual privacy, among other things, in the United Kingdom. Fundamental rights are like muscles: if they are not used, they waste away. Help us now to exercise this muscle, to enable us to rediscover a basis for decent coexistence in our societies in the future, too."@en1
