lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I voted for Mrs Andrikienė’s report. I think that it is very important that we speak about human rights issues and bring them to the foreground. This lies at the heart of the European Union. We must also ensure that we practise what we preach. This is perhaps something of a problem. Of course, we have a lot of resolutions, but the challenge is how to live up to them. It all starts with practical realities. Perhaps I should have had the floor to raise a point of order on the matter regarding Mr Arlacchi’s report. There were a good 50 on that side of the Chamber who stood up. My colleagues and I counted them. We found out that there were fewer than 40 of them, so no action resulted. If we treat some people in this way in this Chamber, people whose opinions are perhaps contrary to our own or those of the majority, there is no real justification on our part for criticising countries where there is a democratic deficit. We in the European Union have to be very careful to ensure that all the work we do here is in accordance with the law, EU regulations and all the legal provisions on human rights. That is why I believe that there is room for improvement here, so that we can be credible when we explain these issues to Russia and the rest of the world. We must ourselves ensure that we are not discriminating against any one minority. Everyone who works in the European Union must have the opportunity to enjoy full human rights."@en1
