"Mr President, as we have seen, the EU considers the aspirations of the Syrian people for a peaceful transition to democracy to be legitimate and calls on the Syrian authorities to respect the rights of citizens to live in security, and for their legitimate desire for political and social reform to be respected. We believe that the arrest of individuals such as Ms Rafah Nached without well-founded reason makes any transition to democracy difficult and will only further isolate the Syrian authorities from the democratic world. Discussion and diplomacy are needed in order to reach a peaceful solution to the crisis in Syria, and I believe that the EU should play a mediating role, provided that this is wanted by the Syrian authorities and they accept that the rule of law and fundamental freedoms should be respected and that economic and social reforms should be implemented.
I believe that such reforms are one of the best solutions for investing in the future of the country and helping to stabilise its democracy, and that respect for democracy requires the immediate release of Rafah Nached."@en1
