"The EU’s policies should not only be consistent and exemplary within the EU, but should also be coherent and in line with fundamental values and principles, in order to maximise the EU’s global credibility and the way in which policies relating to fundamental rights are implemented. Over the last decade, from 9/11 to the Arab Spring, profound changes have taken place, causing new challenges to emerge that demonstrate the vital importance of human rights and democracy. It is crucial to redefine and enhance the EU strategy, as well as the instruments used, so as to be able to respond more effectively and comprehensively to current challenges to human rights and democracy worldwide. I call for rapid, transparent and inclusive progress towards an ambitious common strategy for the EU, with clear actions, timetables and responsibilities, and for all stakeholders to contribute fully to the creation thereof. I also hope that Parliament can be given a more prominent role in promoting transparency and accountability in implementing the EU human rights strategy, since this annual report does not, in itself, constitute an accountability mechanism."@en1
