".
Mr President, yet again we turn our attention to Ethiopia and yet again the situation has not improved and if anything got worse. Reports get worse and worse. We now hear that some eighteen thousand youths have been arrested in Addis Ababa and have been taken to an open field by the Dedesa River and imprisoned. It will need to be a very big field.
The Ethiopian authorities must be put under strong pressure by us to reveal how many of their citizens they are mistreating. This motion for a resolution has a number of ideas as to how, but I would be grateful for your update, Mr Commissioner, on what your plans are and what action you will be taking.
The government must disclose how many, particularly how many young people, have been imprisoned and how many killed. Also, what is the Commission's view of the prospective establishment of an independent commission of inquiry into this whole business?
We have much to do on this, colleagues, so I would, in closing – as I believe the last MEP speaker of 2005 – wish you all a restful holiday, a happy Hogmanay as we call New Year in Scotland, and I look forward to seeing you in 2006 when we will be able to redouble our efforts on this dreadful situation."@en1
