"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, there is a major threat in the Middle East. There is discrimination, including structural discrimination, against Christians in various Islamic countries. The Christian community in Iraq has already been more than halved. We are now seeing the same thing happening in Egypt. There are attacks on the ancient Coptic community, there are innumerable cases of daily harassment, forced marriages, and it is pretty much impossible to build a church. Last February, I received 60 Copts here and they called out for help. I therefore have two requests of you, Baroness Ashton. Make the Copts a top priority in your policy. A stop must be put to the systematic discrimination against them. Secondly, on 20 January, we asked, in this House, for an EU strategy for freedom of religion and the permanent monitoring of such a policy. Will you make that a reality, please. I would appreciate your reaction. Thank you for your patience."@en1
