"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as I was also able to ascertain in person during the visit to the United Arab Emirates of the Delegation for relations with the Arab Peninsula of which I am a member, I consider that the relations the European Parliament is building with the UAE are positive and constructive.
We have always worked with mutual respect and our dialogue is based on this premise. I therefore feel that the wording of some paragraphs of this resolution renders it excessively critical, and does not take into account the efforts the UAE is making to acknowledge the human rights of workers and women. We are all aware of the uprisings taking place across several countries in the Arab world, such as Bahrain, and especially Syria, but from what I was led to believe, I do not feel it to be at such risk of degeneration as one might imagine. I believe that the European Parliament has not given the Government the chance to address the deep criticisms of the human rights situation in the UAE contained in the resolution."@en1
