lpv:spoken text	"Mr[nbsp ]President, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s recent decision to enact harsh anti-gay legislation is profoundly disappointing. Among the most egregious clauses is the prescription of life imprisonment for the so-called crime of aggravated homosexuality. Together with President Jonathan’s recent tightening of LGBT laws in Nigeria, these combined actions form a depressive narrative of discrimination against ordinary people whose only crime is to feel attraction to someone of their own sex. I reject the charge that homosexuality is somehow a colonial import. This matter is clearly a sensitive one, so we must be careful in our response not to alienate these governments and deter dialogue. However, considering suspension from the Cotonou Agreement, as well as the redirection of EU aid towards NGOs rather than central government, must be on the agenda as we demonstrate our commitment to promoting human rights for all."@en1
