"Madam President, I worked on the human rights report this year and the achievements it reflects, in particular the creation of the new human rights dialogue with Burma to seek to contribute to the process of transition in that country, the agreement of new guidelines to respect the human rights of LGBTI people and for freedom of religion and belief, the agreement of the updated instrument on the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights in which this Parliament was a partner, and the conduct of successful election observation missions during the year, including in Pakistan where I was present myself and where our presence is proving to make such a real difference in defending democracy.
To the EEAS and the Commission I stressed that the report presages moving to a new phase where the priority must be not drafting country human rights strategy papers but implementing them, not appointing human rights Focal Points but seeing them work, not in an action plan but in action, full stop.
As Parliament is fully aware of my special interest in corporate responsibility, you will understand that it is right to recall that 2013 was the year of the tragic Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh, leaving more than 1000 people dead, people who stitched clothes for high street shops in the capitals across Europe, highlighting how progress in the EU on implementation of the UN guiding principles on business and human rights is both necessary and as yet insufficient."@en1
