"I welcome Mr Howitt’s report and I am pleased that it has been approved by my fellow Members. I voted in favour of this report for the simple reason that the European Union has always been committed to the defence of fundamental rights, the very cornerstone of our Union. I voted for this report because EU policy in this area needs to be more specific and I look forward to the appointment of the Special Representative for Human Rights. In fact, society and people are hungry for democracy, freedom and guaranteed rights, as the Arab Spring has shown us: the European Union must meet the expectations and respond to the hopes of these people. Lastly, I voted for this report because defending human rights means defending and guaranteeing the rights of women around the world because it is women who are the real driving force behind progress, development, democracy and freedom."@en1
