Mr President, I will start by giving my compliments to the rapporteur, Mr Menéndez del Valle. The presidency can agree with most of the remarks and recommendations in this interesting and good report. I also fully agree with everyone who said that it is very important to give priority to good relations with this very important country, one which is becoming more important economically, technically and politically.
Mr Menéndez del Valle also mentioned the importance of UN reforms. As everyone knows, the Council does not have a common position on the enlargement of the UN Security Council, so it is clear that the Union will not be able explicitly to state whether it will support the Indian request to become a permanent member of the Security Council.
I emphasise that the UN reforms cover much more than just the Security Council. Possible disagreements on those reforms should not prevent us from implementing other necessary reforms in the UN.
Some Members of Parliament – Mr Özdemir and Mr van den Berg – mentioned the important issue of human rights. As you know, discussing human rights within the United Nations is a sensitive issue; I am sure the European Parliament delegation which visited Kashmir last June noted that too. Nevertheless, we will discuss the human rights issue, the situation of women and children, and other subjects, at the summit.
We have been consistent in our position that in the fight against terrorism, or any other kind of militant extremism, human rights should also be respected."@en1
