lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as Parliament’s long—standing rapporteur on corporate responsibility, I want to use my speaking time to focus on the aspects of the report that call on the High Representative to make implementation of the UN guiding principles on business and human rights a key priority in the renewed action plan on human rights, and I would also like to thank Mr Lambrinides for his personal support in this policy area. It was Europe which created the idea of governmental national action plans on the guiding principles, now adopted by President Obama, but I hope Ms Mogherini will assist all of our own Member States now to complete theirs. I hope she will initiate a process of peer review by Member States around their plans, and will herself undertake an overall review as Parliament has asked. Following on from the current French proposal, I ask her to consider European requirements or recommendations on how businesses can demonstrate due diligence on human rights in their global supply chains. As I am proud to have championed the Directive on corporate non—financial reporting now agreed, with its specific reporting obligation on human rights, I ask the High Representative to both support implementation of this framework, but also to champion the new sustainable development goal that Ban Ki-moon is supporting to ensure that that is a global, not just a European requirement. I hope that as Vice—President she will work with DG Justice and its Commissioner to ensure better access to justice for victims of corporate human rights abuse worldwide. This is a rich agenda, and many in business now accept their own responsibility to respect human rights; it is our duty to help them to do it."@en1
