lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, sometimes I want to weep. With Syria in flames, with Syria and Turkey at loggerheads, with Iran enriching uranium, with pirates running amok in the Indian Ocean, with Al-Qaida in Mali, and with Boko Haram running riot in Nigeria, what does the European Parliament think is urgent? Human rights in the UAE. The UAE is one of the better places in the Middle East compared to some of the other countries. The human rights record in some of those neighbouring countries is appalling. Why are we talking about the UAE and not about those countries? Is it some envy or jealousy that we are expressing? Why is it that we had this extraordinary speech from my colleague Mr Kohlíček saying that people are going from India to live in terrible conditions in the UAE? India is a democracy and, if they leave India to work in the UAE voluntarily – nobody is taking them by force – then return and then go back again, that means that the conditions in the UAE must be better than in India. If the conditions were not better than India, why would they go?"@en1
