"The EU sets the global standard for the functioning of democracy – for better or for worse – and its uncompromising defence of human rights. It therefore adopted the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which is binding for all the Member States, for this reason, and it speaks out in the fight against the death penalty and other examples of inhumane treatment. The report under discussion on the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) forms part of a set of four documents that have been adopted in a conciliation procedure between Parliament and the Council. The joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 establishes a financing instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide. I welcome the adoption of this report, for which I voted, because we need to continue to defend human rights in those countries where they are violated. We therefore need to provide protection for activists and non-governmental organisations, as we cannot accept certain countries using taxes to disrupt the work of those who are defending basic human rights."@en1
