"Mr President, it is true that President Khatami inspired hope concerning human rights in Iran, hopes that he himself crushed a long time ago, however. Now, he is demonstrating good will in the light of the trade agreement with the EU. We do not need good will, however; we need results. I agree with all my fellow MEPs who have said that we cannot enter into any trade agreement with Iran. It would be completely schizophrenic, on the one hand, to say that we want to see a strongly critical resolution in the UN and, on the other hand, to enter into a trade agreement with the same country. Let us think for a moment. Of course we must embark upon the critical dialogue with Iran, and if this yields fruit in terms of our no longer seeing stonings or barbaric death penalties and sentences in Iran, then we can of course begin to pave the way for trade agreements. Not a moment before, however."@en1
