"Mr President, I am grateful to the Commission for having quickly replaced me during that short absence. I believe that the Council will take account of the suggestions, ideas and proposals emerging during this Parliamentary debate and also contained in this draft report. The Presidency will obviously communicate the essential aspects of this debate to the future Presidency, because the European Union must now define its position clearly in advance of the September summit.
I believe, as many of you have said, that the UN is an essential building block of a globalised world. To solve the world’s current problems, we need a strong and effective multilateral system. It is for that reason that this reform must not be reduced to a handful of details or a few national interests. The European Union is best placed – or should be best placed – to show that multilateralism provides the answer to problems which can no longer be solved on a purely national basis.
I should also like to come back to the proposal concerning a fund for democracy. The United Nations human rights system needs root-and-branch reform. Too often – and we have discussed this on a number of occasions – developments which are almost absurd occur in the Commission on Human Rights. For that reason, to restore greater credibility to the protection of human rights within the UN system, reform is absolutely essential. And I believe that this is yet another area in which the European Union can be at the forefront of reform, encouraging it and achieving positive results and solutions."@en1
