lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report and what it says as regards the mandate which the new representative for human rights will have. The representative must have a strong, independent, flexible mandate, one not focused only on narrow specific responsibilities. This position must reflect the EU’s human rights policy, and it must involve responsibilities relating to democracy, international justice, international humanitarian law, abolition of the death penalty, freedom of expression, issues of gender, children and armed conflict. I am currently working with two Irish people on two different cases. In both cases, the spouse of a European citizen is being detained abroad in unclear circumstances. In both cases, the spouse’s human rights are being infringed and their rights to information and to a fair trial are being denied. It is my hope that the EU Special Representative for Human Rights will use his mandate to assist in cases like this, cases where the Commission and the Member States are reluctant to do anything, although there is a clear breach of human rights involved."@en1
