"I was pleased to vote for this report because I believe that the proliferation of democracy and human rights has been one of the successes of the European Union. However, when funding democracy and human rights projects in third countries, the EU must ensure not only that taxpayers’ money is not wasted, but also that the projects are meeting their objectives. A recent case of a democracy and human rights project in Afghanistan involving one of my London constituents has highlighted the need to manage such projects better and to ensure value-for-money for citizens. The EU office in Afghanistan paid my constituent EUR 70 000 to make a documentary on the plight of women who have been raped or beaten and then imprisoned under the country’s justice system. These unreasonable punishments and discrimination against women were highlighted in my constituent’s film
. And yet the EU Delegation refuses to release this film. My constituent wishes to reach an agreement with the EU Delegation in order to tell the story of these mistreated and persecuted women. I call on the EU to reach a solution so that the film can be released or return the money it has wasted to the taxpayer."@en1
