lpv:translated text	"There were many of us, not only here in Europe but throughout the world, who put our faith in President Khatami. That applied above all, of course, to the Iranian people. We all hoped that he would be able to lead Iran onto a more democratically open and tolerant path. Unfortunately, we have all, time after time after time, been disappointed. The latest reports are frightening. Journalists, intellectuals and critics of the regime disappear and are tortured, imprisoned and put on trial for trivial reasons. The death penalty is frequently applied. In that respect, Iran is one of the world’s worst offenders. The latest reports of women having been stoned to death according to ancient sharia laws are utterly hair-raising. The fact that this is happening in 2002 is completely unacceptable. A whole world turns in abhorrence upon Iran. Relations between the EU and Iran are characterised by a certain amount of caution, which is good. If these relations are to become meaningful, the issue of human rights must always be at the top of the agenda, however. I would also draw attention to the fact that Parliament has its veto when it comes to acknowledging possible agreements, and this is something we shall use if the situation does not improve."@en1
