lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this report has quite a long and somewhat polarised history here. The right wing in Parliament, the Council and the Commission all tried to avoid comprehensively dealing with the question of human rights violations. We should have a target date today from the Commission for when the regulation will be updated. The need for this has been underlined by developments over the past number of years. According to the International Federation for Human Rights, surveillance products and services have seen a big increase in the past few years and can have a dramatic impact on human rights. The market for these products has gone from around zero in 2001 to well over USD[nbsp ]5[nbsp ]billion. A recent report from Human Rights Watch details how surveillance products created by European companies are used to crack down on opposition activists in Ethiopia. We have a case of big business being willing to walk over dead bodies in order to maximise products. Of course, those abuses do not just take place in so-called rogue states, but also in the heart of Western democracy – consider the NSA mass surveillance scandal. What we need is regulation change but, more than that, we need system change."@en1
