"I am sorry that the honourable Member has misinterpreted my replies, at least as regards the stance that I intended to take.
As regards defending human rights, I have said and I will say it again, that the Council of the European Union will promote the defence of these rights on every occasion and in every situation at all levels – I could repeat a reply that I have already had occasion to give here in this House regarding a similar issue – not least where the United States are concerned. It did just this when, at bilateral level, in the recent meeting that took place with the Secretary of State Colin Powell, the Council and the Member States of the Union present at the meeting brought up concerns regarding the issue of Guantánamo Bay.
As far as the United States-Cuba issue is concerned, the situation is different for this specific case because, as I said before in my initial reply, the issue is still seen as being in the context of bilateral relations between the United States and Cuba. I would like this to be clear in my replies as well."@en1
