lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, can I start by congratulating the Vice-President/High Representative on her personal success in negotiating the compromise in the United Nations on EU speaking rights, where others had failed. Whatever people in this Chamber, or anyone else in the European Union, think about our common foreign and security policy, this is the most outstanding objective endorsement of the ambition that you and we have for the Lisbon Treaty, a foreign policy that has real trust and respect from our foreign partners. As Socialist coordinator on human rights, I also want to congratulate the High Representative on her strategic review of human rights and on the commitment in her letter to foreign ministers to integrate human rights with trade development and other EU policies and to achieve ‘specific deliverables’. In this Parliament, we called on her to create a human rights and democracy directorate and to consistently meet human rights defenders in all of her visits, and we thank her for doing so. When she says that ending the death penalty is her personal priority, this Parliament must also give her our strong support. Our group supports Ms Muñiz De Urquiza in calling for greater visibility for the EU in the Human Rights Council. We back Mr Albertini in saying that the EU must act, as well as speak, in the face of human rights violations. We emphasise Mr Gualtieri’s conclusion that respect for human rights can never be compromised. On behalf of my group, I also want to record our support on the issue of returning tax revenues to the Palestinians. This is our annual debate on foreign policy, and in the next year, we hope to see clear outcomes to the human rights review and significant steps to developing a human rights culture in everything that the European External Action Service does."@en1
