"We support the European Union’s agreements with Libya, concerning the HIV epidemic, and we urge the immediate implementation of the action plans which sparked our solidarity with sufferers from the epidemic in the Benghazi hospital [and I thank the Commission for this package of intervention plans].
Before anything else I would like to express our concerns in connection with the situation of the Bulgarian and Palestinian health workers. Six years ago they came under suspicion, were arrested, and were condemned to death. We were not the first to become involved in the affair, since successive presidencies of the Commission and the Council have dealt with the matter in their sittings. But again we must emphasise that the death penalty falls outside the values and fundamental principles of the European Union, and carrying out these death penalties would nullify the normalisation of relations between the European Union and Libya. We hope that Libya reacts positively to the EU’s efforts and labours to advance long-term, close cooperation. In light of this we hope there will be swift progress in this affair, and nothing other than a fair appeal hearing. Delaying justice is nothing other than a repudiation of justice. Because of this we call on Libya to respond to our concerns at the earliest possible date, and we ask the Council that they initiate a re-examination of the affair."@en1
