lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I believe that we can be pleased with the consensus that has been achieved amongst the groups in the House in relation to the text that we are going to put to the vote tomorrow for the fifth session of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Since this Council was created, it has not had a very easy time. It is therefore important that the European Parliament should once again show consistency in terms of how to proceed with a view to promoting and protecting human rights and, specifically, how to facilitate and improve the work of the United Nations Human Rights Council. On assessing its activities, it appears that there are certain deficiencies that need to be resolved and which are based on two fundamental problems. On the one hand, the weakness and insufficiency of the responses to dramatic and urgent situations that require much more vigorous action. I am referring primarily to the dramatic situation in Darfur, something to which everybody should be paying the greatest possible attention. Secondly, the need substantially to improve the Council’s internal mechanisms and to improve the dynamics of the relationship between the member countries for the sake of more effective and ambitious work. There is a fundamental problem underlying both issues, and Parliament and the European Union can do significant work in this regard. I am referring to political differences, which must not hinder the crucial common efforts to substantially reduce the vulnerability of the world’s peoples to abuses and violations of human rights. This aspect is vital, since Europe must be at the forefront in terms of treating all countries equally when it comes to dialogue on human rights. We believe that this philosophy must be extended to the Council and that the next Romanian Presidency of the United Nations Human Rights Council can offer a good opportunity for these essential improvements to become reality."@en1
