"Mr President, I may not look like Mr Schulz but I am deputising for him. The Socialist Group is deeply concerned by the continuing civil war that has claimed around two million casualties over the last 19 years. Of course we welcome the signing on 15 October of the peace agreement between the government in Sudan and the SPLA. We will be looking very closely at whether the government's pledge to respect human rights and the rule of law is met and whether there are moves towards democratisation that will result in the establishment of a democratically elected executive and legislature.
We ask the Commission to provide us with a report on the possible involvement of European oil companies in abuses committed against local communities in the oil- producing areas. We certainly do not support the idea that the ACP-EU Parliamentary assembly should meet in Sudan next year. It may be possible in the future but we will have to see how things develop in Sudan. We need a dialogue between Sudan and the European Union, but before we resume normal relations we would want to see progress towards ending terrorism and support for terrorist groups, religious tolerance, human rights and of course an end to the civil war."@en1
