lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to draw your attention and the attention of the House as a whole to another case of severe violation of the most basic human rights, of violation, above all, of the freedom to choose where to live. This is the situation, what is happening at this time, even as we speak, in Tunisia. The facts are these: an Italian woman, married to a Tunisian citizen, was taken to Tunisia with her two children, aged 16 months and 5 years, for a week’s holiday – or that is what she was told by the father. When they got to Tunisia, the father took away his family’s passports and is now forbidding them to leave Tunisia. He expects his wife, an Italian citizen, to stay in Tunisia against her will. A few minutes ago, I was informed that the Tunis Minors’ Court has granted custody of the children to the mother, recognising that the father is not able to look after the children, but that it does not as yet intend to allow the family to go back to Italy, where they have a house, where the children were born and which is their natural home. Mr President, we who have bilateral relations with these countries in all fields also have the duty to make them understand that they must bring their legislation – whose authority we respect – into line with the changing conditions in the world so that dialogue can take place between parties on equal terms, with equal dignity and in mutual respect. If they wish to enjoy good relations with the European Union, they have to understand that we have certain rules which we intend to uphold, starting with laws guaranteeing human rights and the free movement of persons."@en1
