"Mr President, I welcome the switch to an EU military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also applaud the fact that Lord Ashdown will promote overall EU political coordination there and, specifically, will give the EU force political advice.
NATO's SFOR was criticised by Amnesty International for human rights violations. Lord Ashdown will have an important role in ensuring that the ALTHEA EUFOR mission does not practice arbitrary arrests or ill-treatment of detainees. I would urge that the Bosnia and Herzegovina Human Rights Ombudsman be given jurisdiction over their activities. I also hope that the EU takeover of military responsibility will lead to an energetic effort to find war criminals and deliver them to The Hague.
Finally, I want an assurance of zero tolerance towards sexual abuse, exploitation and use of prostitutes who are victims of trafficking.
It is at last time to say goodbye to Commissioner Patten, but I look forward to working with him in the quest for a 'yes' vote on the Constitution in Britain."@en1
