".
Egypt is a country that is very parsimonious when it comes to guaranteeing the protection of human rights. The arrest and imprisonment of 52 homosexual men on account of their sexual orientation is once again a poignant example of this.
Despite our parliamentary questions, the European Commission failed to add the topic to the agenda at the recent summit meeting with Mr Mubarak. It appears that human rights issues fade into the background if military or economic interests are at stake.
In our view, it is not right to reward Egypt for its misconduct under these circumstances, and we have therefore voted against the proposal."@en1
