"Mr President, India is one of our strategic partners where both trade and politics are concerned. It plays a constructive role in the region. The time has come, however, for the Indian Government to be on the receiving end of strong words regarding the blatant infringement of freedom of belief on its territory. The All-India Christian Council states that Christians are the targets of varying levels of aggression and intolerance on average every three days in India. People are dying and churches are being demolished whilst the judicial system has adopted an exceptionally passive stance. We cannot condone the legislation banning conversion to Christianity in certain parts of India. We expect determined action in this respect and also in respect of the compensation to which Christian communities are entitled for the damage done to their property. Mr Jouyet, Commissioner, I am calling for all these issues to be made very clear at the EU-India Summit later this month."@en1
