lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there can be no doubt that promoting respect for human rights and democracy in third countries is one of the main aims of the European Union’s foreign policy. This aim will not be achieved, however, if international agreements continue to focus exclusively on economic and political issues. The inclusion of clauses on human rights and democracy in trade agreements and technical and financial aid would also be a vital step in the right direction. The European Union will be able to act more quickly and effectively to defend human rights if it has the option of suspending economic cooperation in the event of serious infringements of fundamental rights in third countries. In parallel with this process, the European Parliament should become more involved in consultations concerning the content of agreements and clauses as well as their implementation and enforcement. Once we have an effective system of monitoring fundamental freedoms in place, backed up by the option of imposing economic sanctions, we shall at last progress from words to deeds. To date, it has frequently been the case that fine words of European Parliament resolutions on the defence of human rights have simply remained on paper."@en1
