lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the day before yesterday saw the commencement of this trial in Cairo of these 50 men accused of homosexuality. We Liberals would like to protest strongly against this trial on several grounds. We always condemn discrimination and injustices against people on the basis of homosexuality, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. What is more, homosexuality is illegal according to Egyptian law. Even so, these men risk harsh punishment. In addition, they have already been through a first trial, as several colleagues have already pointed out. A second trial contravenes all legal principles. We Liberals would like to remind everyone of Article 2 of the EU-Egypt Association Agreement. We refer constantly to this article on respect for human rights. Is it not time, Commissioners, to take this article seriously and find the means to make it useable, allowing us, in certain cases, to bring countries contravening Article 2 to their senses or at least to implement sanctions against them? I am counting on the Commission to protest in the strongest possible terms against this trial."@en1
