lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the appointment of a Special Representative for Human Rights should constitute progress towards an EU external policy guided by its founding values and principles of promoting human rights and democracy, not just within Europe but universally. The Special Representative should have political experience, credentials in the field of international humanitarian or human rights law or of international justice, and should be capable of acting as an intelligent and strategic advocate of human rights, democracy and the rule of law the world over. He or she should speak on behalf of the European Union and be directly accountable to this Parliament wherever necessary, and should ensure, in coordination with the High Representative and the Member States, that guidelines, toolkits and action plans in this area are actually put into practice. He or she should be someone unafraid of speaking up and of loudly condemning human rights violations in any state, including those with which the European Union has privileged relations, thereby genuinely establishing an honest, transparent and strategic dialogue. We cannot continue concluding agreements and offering financial support, consequence-free and with impunity, to regimes that systematically display contempt for the fundamental rights of their peoples. Our security, trade and development, and energy policies must ensure concrete results and democratic reforms in third countries and, to that end, our external action must prioritise investment in capacity building for civil society. This means that we should work alongside civil society in each country in order to develop the human rights strategy for that country, and the specific priorities and goals of these strategies should be made public. I hope that the Council and the Member States will commit to ensuring full cooperation with the Special Representative and will facilitate the task of coordinating the voices confronting him or her. I am sure that you will make the right choice, High Representative."@en1
