"Question No. 47 by Marie Anne Isler Béguin ()
In Mauritania, tension seems to have remained high since the presidential elections held in 2003. Given the lack of a consensus on an electoral code, the sources of conflict are mounting up: failure to punish the ethnic crimes committed between 1989 and 1991, repeated allegations of torture, slavery-like practices and the prospect of oil production.
Since the EU is Mauritania's leading economic partner, there is an urgent need to encourage an open dialogue and act as arbitrator between the Mauritanian Government, its civilian and military opponents and human rights organisations.
Does the Commission plan to take resolute steps with a view to securing a negotiated settlement of the Mauritanian crisis, given that inaction would amount to an acknowledgement of responsibility for 'failing to assist a people in danger'?"@en1
