lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, is there really much point in our debating human rights in these countries unless the EU is prepared to act on the stipulation in its bilateral agreements with Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam that respect for human rights is a condition for the continuance of EU aid? That stipulation continues to be breached on a daily basis, but we still pump in aid as if all was well. All is very far from well. I have time only to refer to abuses of religious freedom. In Vietnam, persecution of Christians is rampant, being particularly dire in respect of minority Protestant Christian churches in Vietnam’s central highlands and the north. The Reverend Quang and his associates have been relentlessly hounded by the Communist authorities. When the President of the Vietnamese Committee on Human Rights addressed Parliament in December, he described Vietnam as a prison for its people, governed by a red mafia financed by the European taxpayer. He may have overstated our generosity, but that was a stinging indictment of the EU’s attitude to countries such as this."@en1
