"Mr President, I would like to address two issues very briefly. Democracy and human rights are very important to Europeans: we like to cherish and preserve them. Tunne Kelam has already raised the matter of the human rights situation in Russia and, in particular, the treatment of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. If we in the European Union really stand for human rights, we cannot accept this. We have to intervene in the Khodorkovsky case, as well as the human rights situation in Russia generally.
Another matter relating to democracy is the notion that we in the European Union should know exactly what the European taxpayers’ euros are being spent on. We cannot support terrorist organisations such as Hamas, which has now come to power in the Palestinian autonomous zone. Instead, we should be promoting democracy, and we should cease cooperation with terrorist organisations and stop financing them."@en1
