"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms lies at the heart of the European Union; this is being proven once again by creating the position of Special Representative for Human Rights. We are living in times of great change in many countries with which the Union wishes to maintain good relations. Therefore, we need to protect and promote our values, namely, respect for the individual and human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity, now more than ever.
The appointment of the Special Representative will help the European External Action Service to become more effective in the human rights sector, as the Special Representative will be able to act quickly and directly. He therefore needs to be given clear instructions for his field of action, so as to avoid confusion between the relevant services of the institutions in terms of who is competent. Similarly, it must be possible to extend the Special Representative’s term of office, if he proves to be up to the job. The person selected must have a track record in the human rights sector that proves that he will be a credible interlocutor on all counts."@en1
