lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation regarding security in Bosnia and Herzegovina has improved, but the country is nevertheless unstable, and an international presence is needed. The forthcoming operation will do much to bring Bosnia and Herzegovina closer to the European Union and will strengthen the Union’s role in the Western Balkans. The proposal before us is an excellent one, and Mr Wiersma has done a magnificent job. As shadow rapporteur on ALTHEA, I made some observations with regard to the basic proposal, and I am pleased that they were taken into consideration when the proposal was being drawn up. It is important that action is taken in Bosnia and Herzegovina to combat organised crime and trafficking in women. I wish to emphasise how important it is to ensure that there is a more balanced representation of ethnic groups when police forces are being assembled. This will increase confidence of all groups in the region and their commitment to maintaining order. War criminals at liberty must be caught. The Dayton Agreement must be implemented. This is a matter of credibility, and is a task for NATO staff. This will be the first major EU-led military operation and we need to monitor its progress very closely. It will be important to attend to its operational aspects and consider clearly how responsibilities are to be divided. The EU must ensure that ALTHEA troops respect human rights in all their aspects. The EU is committed to respecting human rights, and that must be conspicuous in all action associated with the ALTHEA mission, whether it concerns the treatment of prisoners or those being detained, or any action. A parliamentary delegation will inspect the work of the ALTHEA mission next year, and, in addition to all its other responsibilities, it should also be given the opportunity to make an evaluation of respect for human rights."@en1
