"Mr President, Commissioner, unfortunately what Mr van den Bos is saying is not presented clearly in this joint motion for a resolution and that is why we have not signed it. As long as Khatami’s adviser on women’s affairs considers stoning to be a measure which underpins the family, we can only consider this to be truly horrible. Since our resolution of 13 December 2001, 250 people have been executed in Iran, and 75 the previous year. How can they speak about progress! It does not look as if the human rights situation is improving. I find that the motion for a resolution placed before us for our vote is not sufficiently clear. Despite the visit by a European delegation in connection with human rights, there were still five public executions on 30 September. We therefore condemn the European Council’s decision not to introduce a resolution about human rights in Iran before the next sitting of the UN Comission on Human Rights in Geneva. We want to state clearly and unambiguously that this resolution must be introduced before the next sitting. We want to say in all clarity that the European Parliament cannot assume that we can discuss cooperation agreements if there is no real improvement to the situation on human rights in Iran and that is why we have not signed."@en1
