"Mr President, I stand here actually feeling very proud of the fact that we are having the type of debate that we are, in this Chamber. Once again, his Holiness the Pope took the floor just the day before yesterday and made it clear that when Europe does not hold firmly to its values, we are set adrift, and that I see being demonstrated here today. So many of our colleagues may be unaware, but actually this House and the European Union have already been instrumental in securing the release of a European citizen from death row in Pakistan. It is something that we achieved some years ago. There is no reason why our dialogue should not allow us to pursue that sort of constructive dialogue again.
To the Commission, I can simply repeat: we have, of course, a variety of calls in terms of the trade relationship that we have with Pakistan. After a considerable and very vigorous exercise, we granted the GSP+ to Pakistan. We have the scorecard mechanism. Let us please apply that as vigorously as we possibly can. This is a time for every colleague in this House to come together and work with Pakistan in order to achieve the ultimate end of saving that life."@en1
