"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in spite of the wonderful speech that Mr de Miguel has given, I believe that we can safely bet that the Council and the European Union will this year adopt, as they did last year and the year before that in Geneva, a scandalous, shameful, cowardly position, which, unfortunately, will not be the one that Parliament defends. I think that we can be absolutely sure, that we can bet one hundred to one, that there will be no resolution on China, no resolution on Tibet, that there will be no support given to the European Union for resolutions on the situation of women in Saudi Arabia, that there will be no resolution or support from the Union for a resolution on Tunisia. There will not be anything – like last year, although it is true that, last year, the European Union even came to an arrangement so that it would not have the United States to deal with this year. I shall not even mention Chechnya. Commissioner Nielson is still trying to find Chechnya on the world map. Even within Parliament, Mr Oostlander and his accomplice, Mr Sakellariou – but this will not come a surprise to anyone – have even sabotaged an initiative to organise a meeting between two negotiators, one Chechen and one Russian. This is how the situation of human rights really stands. I do not think that we can turn a blind eye to this."@en1
