lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I will continue the criticism of the Commission. We have now heard here today a string of examples of how power and legislation have been brought to bear against those sections of the press that are critical of those who hold power. This, in any case, must be something that affects the Commission. I am a member of the Committee on Petitions, and in this Committee, we have actually heard the Commission say that it was not responsible for violations of basic rights in the Member States. It was of no concern to the Commission. This has been strongly criticised both by the Committee and when resolutions have been adopted here in Parliament. I would simply like to make the Commissioner aware of the fact that the Copenhagen criteria are not reserved for countries that are intending to accede to the EU. That was also said to us in the Committee on Petitions by a member of the Commission. The Copenhagen criteria apply to everyone – including the EU Member States. We would ask the Commission, in future, to pay more attention and to be more forceful in these situations."@en1
