lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Treaty clearly states: human rights are values on which not only the EU but also the EU’s relations with third countries are based. Continuing this point of view, I should actually mention that Lady Ashton started her mandate by stating that human rights would be the ‘silver thread’ running through foreign policy. At the moment, however, the actions being taken by the EU to promote human rights externally are rather disparate, and criticism has been levelled in this Parliament on more than one occasion at the lack of coherence in this area. The aim of appointing an EU Special Representative for Human Rights is to reinforce the coherence of EU actions in this area, and we obviously must welcome such an innovation. On the other hand, as long as we deal with human rights as a separate area covered by so-called human right dialogues and not at summit meetings between political leaders, I am afraid that our credibility will continue to suffer. The Arab Spring reminded us that human rights are universal, highlighting that every individual would like their fundamental rights and liberties to be respected. This is why I think that, for the mandate of the EU Special Representative for Human Rights to be a success, apart from having the institutional framework, we need the main European and national actors to show political will in guiding their actions according to the solemn declarations made in the Treaties."@en1
