lpv:translated text	"I voted against this report because, although it seeks to give Parliament greater democratic control over the ‘instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide’, the instrument itself, whether or not it is controlled by Parliament, is a means for the EU to interfere in the internal affairs of third countries. Using this instrument, the Commission, applying its own criteria to decide what is meant by promoting democracy and human rights, and what constitutes the risk, abuse or repression of those rights, has the option of using its own discretion to finance and support associations, political parties, foundations and even specific individuals from third countries without communicating or coordinating with the government of the country in question. My vote against is based on my outright rejection of this instrument, which, four years after its adoption and as we said at the time, has become a tool for the covert defence of EU interests in third countries, disguising that defence under the discretionary mantle of human rights and democracy."@en1
