lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, as you and the House are aware, the assembly of the ‘Community of Democracies’ will be held in Seoul from 10 to 12 November next, with the participation of government delegations from over 100 countries. It follows on from the first assembly of this group in Warsaw two years ago. This initiative seeks to promote political democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. The European Union, which dedicates a large section of its budget precisely to democratisation initiatives and initiatives seeking to promote human rights and the rule of law, has or is supposed to have a strategic line of upholding democracy as a guarantee of freedoms and of the best possible prospects of prosperity for entire peoples throughout the world. As we know, the Seoul assembly is a meeting of governments. The Commission will participate as an observer. Our question, Commissioner, is as follows: what contribution does the European Union – the Commission and the Member States – intend to make to the success of this assembly? The Transnational Radical Party dedicated an entire congress to this issue last weekend, identifying two possible goals which I would like you to make your own. The first goal is to create a Secretariat for the Community of Democracies which will have the task of preserving and furthering the growth of this Community with a view to it becoming a genuine world democracy organisation. The second goal is for a Community of Democracies group to be created within every UN body, alongside the regional or other formal and informal groups of countries. This group would work to safeguard and promote democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. For example, one subject for debate could be the progress of the Libyan Presidency in democratisation and respect for human rights. The next debate could be a similar debate on the United Nations Commission on Human Rights."@en1
