lpv:translated text	"After the partnership agreement between the ACP countries and the European Union, which was signed in Cotonou and amended in Luxembourg, the issue of having a human rights and democracy clause in EU agreements seemed to have been resolved. Indeed, accepting the principle of protecting human rights was a great step forwards. However, there still seem to be some gaps in the implementation of this principle. It is not a simple issue. It is complicated by the fact that, if we wanted to suspend a signed agreement because of violation of the human rights clause, we would have to avoid hurting the population of the offending country. Alongside the human rights clauses, there are also analogous requirements regarding compliance with basic democratic standards and respect for minority rights. I can mention the particular case of the negotiations with Croatia, during which I have never had the feeling that the European Union has been at all interested in or has protected the rights of the Italian minority or those of the Giulian-Dalmatian exiles, and it has even justified its attitude by saying that those are bilateral issues. I must point out to the Commission, however, that protection for minority rights must be assured by more than just bilateral relations. It is a fundamental right, especially as we are not dealing with a trade agreement here but an actual accession treaty. This problem has not been solved even by this report."@en1
