"Mr President, I would like to begin with a reference to Commissioner Reding’s final comment, calling for coherence. I believe that this is the key: the key question and the key issue. The case of Tunisia is not just any case. A few days ago we expressed our regret — as has already been said — that, in the assessment of the Barcelona Conference on the Euro-Mediterranean process, insufficient progress has been made in terms of moving forward on the construction of a European area of respect for human rights and promotion of peace. In the case of Tunisia, we are not dealing with an absence of civil society. The problem is that civil society is not being allowed to express itself with complete freedom. And to me this is the fundamental aspect. If the European Union wants its message, its debate and its Euro-Mediterranean policy to be coherent, it should not send out the message that the situations we have witnessed over recent days are being ignored, in particular during the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunisia and the arrests of several leaders of human rights organisations. To me, therefore, coherence is a fundamental issue which we must not leave out of this debate."@en1
