lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, I would once again like to thank some of my fellow Members for the work they did in advance to prepare this report and, of course, all those who have spoken in this debate. I note with satisfaction, Baroness Ashton, your firm commitment to ensuring that the EU Special Representative has a link with and works permanently and continuously with Parliament. Beyond the terms of the mandate, on which we have spoken extensively during this debate, and which, in my opinion, should also be applied to the interpretation of the democratic clause that we have with some third countries, there remains the question of the personal profile of the candidate. I was personally very pleased by the speech made by Mr Mitchell regarding the profile that this person should have, which brings to mind the anecdote sometimes told about when, in fourth century Athens, after the age of Pericles, Aristotle was walking with his pupils of the Peripatetic School and one of them made an observation that displeased his teacher. When Aristotle answered, the pupil said to him, ‘that is not my observation, but that of your teacher Plato’. Aristotle’s response has been repeated numerous times on the European stage from the fourth century BC to the present day and our technological and Internet era: ‘Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is the truth’. I believe that the Special Representative must be an integral part of the institutional structure of the European Union, report to the High Representative, have a link to Parliament and the Member States, but that what must be more dear to him or her must be the cause of defending human rights and fundamental freedoms, so that human rights and fundamental freedoms, as Parliament wishes, can take hold in the 21st century across the world."@en1
