The written declaration, put forward by Marianne MIKKO (PES, EE), Christopher BEAZLEY (EPP-ED, UK), Inese VAIDERE (UEN, LV), Zita GURMAI (PES, HU) and Alexander ALVARO (ALDE, DE), proposed that 23 August be proclaimed European Day of Remembrance for Victims of the Crimes of Stalinism and Nazism, in order to preserve the memory of the victims of mass deportations and exterminations while, at the same time, rooting democracy more firmly and reinforcing peace and stability in our continent.
Ar deklarāciju Eiropas Parlaments ierosina "pasludināt 23. augustu par staļinisma un nacisma noziegumu upuru atceres dienu, lai paturētu atmiņā masu deportāciju un iznīcināšanas upurus, vienlaicīgi nostiprinot demokrātiju, mieru un stabilitāti mūsu kontinentā".
