"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, human rights are a live issue in Europe, not only in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This is a point we must stress in connection with Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, because human rights are being violated in countries that border the EU. These violations are not going on in remote and exotic places. They are going on next door to us, in the very same Europe we live in. A second key issue is the fight against terrorism, as the latter is the greatest real threat facing the international community. What is needed is solidarity between EU Member States, yet this is currently lacking, for example with regard to the ‘black list’ of terrorist organisations. This is one instance where there is a real need for the united Europe to speak with one voice, instead of the large Member States of the old EU looking out for their own interests.
In my opinion, the report should have highlighted the fact that religious minorities, and especially Christians, are being persecuted in certain African and Asian countries."@en1
