". – In case I did not make myself clear, let me underline the fact that the Commission is exceptionally concerned by particular cases of the abuse of human rights, including the situation affecting women. I referred to, for example, the special report by Amnesty International. I could have referred to the EU statement in the UN Commission on Human Rights as well. We do not, however, have any representation in Saudi Arabia, nor do we have any representation in the Gulf. Nor do we have any competence to take any particular steps or to make a stand on an individual level in these particular cases. However, we participate in the European Union
which are agreed upon regarding human rights issues in the framework of the CFSP.
So the honourable Member is right to raise the issue. It is an issue – I repeat again – in the framework of the political dialogue that we have with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and we will continue to do so."@en1
