lpv:translated text	"It can never be repeated often enough that the European Union must actively promote human rights and democracy in all its activities throughout the world. Respect for human rights must be a priority in all EU activities, including conflict prevention. Indeed we must ‘export’, as the saying goes, our common values like liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law – the EU’s founding principles. However, it is essential to respect national sovereignty and not lapse into interference. The European institutions must put their heads together and come up with more effective methods. The rapporteur is proposing that the Council and the Commission elaborate more focused common strategies on human rights. The EU Presidency is invited to ensure that the working programmes systematically include sections on well-defined policies and actions aimed at promoting human rights and democracy. Specific annual priorities should be established, matched with measures for implementation. These strategies must be subject to annual review and ensure consistency between the various Community policies involved. I think it is important for the European Parliament to improve its own structures for dealing with human rights issues. I welcome the suggestion to appoint a special representative, possibly a vice-chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. This person would deal with all human rights issues and would also ensure that individual cases of violation of human rights are followed up."@en1
