lpv:spoken text	"I abstained on the report on the evaluation of the European Endowment for Democracy. The stated objective of the EED is to support civil society organisations, journalists/media, human rights activists and others who promote pro-democratic non-violent principles in countries where rights may be restricted. In principle I agree with supporting such groups in promoting human rights and democracy. However as well as civil society groups and organisations this report calls for the EED to engage with and support the emergence and consolidation of political parties. This could lead to interference by the EU in the political life of third countries by focusing on pro-EU organisations rather than pro-democracy organisations broadly speaking. I believe in the universality of human rights and democracy and I also believe in the right of all people to decide the political and economic destiny of their country. For this reason I abstained."@en1
