"Mr President, respect for fundamental values must remain the rule. We should be concerned by even the slightest doubt raised in this respect. It is also in our interest to base our judgment on real facts that have been examined objectively. The more assured we are that the criticism levelled against a Member State reflects reality, the better it is for objective debate. For that reason, I would like to call on the Commission to ask the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights to shed some light on the matter for us, not just today, but every time we are faced with such cases. It certainly would be beyond comprehension to have a European agency authorised to deal with human rights remaining silent when those very rights are blatantly being violated.
May I ask the Commission to commit to asking the Agency, firstly to give it its opinion on the matter and, secondly, to ensure that it is published?"@en1
