"Mr President, Mr Søvndal, Commissioner, the summit between the European Union and China took place only yesterday. The summit between the European Union and Russia was held on 15 December. On 15 December, the al-Assad regime’s orgy of bloody repression of its people was already in full swing. However, it was not reported from either summit, which involved the same two countries that prevented the United Nations Security Council adopting a resolution condemning the Syrian regime, that the European Union had raised the issue of the stance on Syria adopted by those two countries, both of which are members of the Security Council. The European Union has to demonstrate its relevance on the international stage through its ability to influence its counterparts. Otherwise, we will be condemned to irrelevance. Russia and China have to commit to an international order in which sovereignty is limited by human rights. International law cannot be taken as a guarantee of impunity for the states. We rule out military intervention, but we call for the creation of a humanitarian corridor, for the case for repression in Syria to be raised at the International Criminal Court, for an end to arms sales, for the creation of a blacklist and for acknowledgment and political support of the opposition."@en1
