"Madam President, we are grateful that, for the first time, the Council’s report mentions Parliament’s actions in the field of human rights, because this Parliament does a lot.
We are also grateful that you have come here to present it to this House. The Socialist Group had asked for this on many occasions. Thus, our report can be better geared towards the monitoring and evaluation of its commitments.
We have had enough fine words and great speeches, because there are specific situations that require action and compliance with the commitments we have made, such as the European Initiative for Human Rights and Democracy, which has already been mentioned.
What does the Council do with the resolutions that are adopted in this Parliament? We have adopted three, with the one that we will adopt this week on Ethiopia. We have not received any response. What has happened about Guantánamo? What action has it taken? The lack of action is leading to many problems, despite the serious violations of human rights that are taking place. I could mention other cases.
It is better to say less and to do more, because if we say too much people will stop believing us. This Parliament works extremely hard to ensure that its voice is heard, but in order for its voice to be heeded, we need you, and we need you to renew your commitment to European human rights policy, which is supposed to be a fundamental pillar of our external action.
We are still awaiting many replies."@en1
