".
The Member States and the EU have got into the habit of giving lessons in democracy and defence of human rights all over the world. This generally accompanies demands for freedom of the market and competition.
Reading the Swiebel report, you would think the Member States also needed to put their houses in order. The report does in fact reveal many violations of human rights in the EU. No country is spared! Sexual discrimination or discrimination against minorities like the Roma, police violence, deplorable conditions of detention in prisons and police stations, racist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic acts and violence, challenges to basic rights in the name of combating terrorism, the replacement of security policies and crackdowns on immigration and asylum, not to mention violations of social rights and frequent attacks on trade union rights.
The report of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs is based on a large number of examples and is not content with levying criticism; it questions governments and puts forward precise proposals and recommendations in many fields. I and my group are glad that the majority of our Assembly has adopted the report, which was further enriched by the adoption of my group’s amendments."@en1
