"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I think that Mr Casaca has touched upon something very specific. He was not talking just about the death penalty; he was talking about death by stoning, which is utterly unacceptable. Furthermore, our experience of association agreements with a number of third countries, particularly with countries that are quite closely linked to us such as Tunisia, shows that the clause on human rights has had no effect in terms of urging the national authorities to make progress towards democracy and the rule of law. On the contrary, the authorities have used this association agreement to increase their power and to develop mafia groups that have various degrees of involvement in the country’s economic sectors and also in the European Union itself. Do you not think that, by proposing that Iran sign an association agreement, there is a danger that we will find ourselves in exactly the same situation as the one the European Union is now facing with Tunisia?"@en1
