"Mainstreaming human rights has been the core issue in last years. I welcome including also the ESDP into this process. Truly, it is crucial that human rights will be taken into account in every EU action.
Nevertheless, there is a need to emphasise that mainstreaming human rights in relations with third countries should apply to every EU partner without exception. I can refer to one of the latest cases where human rights were included in the trade agreement with Montenegro. At the same time, your report underlines that systematic and grave violations of human rights are continuing on a day-to-day basis in China, Russia, Iran and other countries, yet these facts are really not taken into account while developing economic relations with such states. it is unacceptable that the same rules are being applied differently on different cases.
Therefore, I strongly urge the Council and the Commission to mainstream human rights in all issues negotiated with China, Russia, Iran and others. Sadly, we have to conclude that the human rights dialogue is not taken seriously for example by the Russian side. I call on the EU institutions to be demanding and consistent in representing and defending the core values of the union everywhere."@en1
