"Mr President, the promotion and safeguarding of human rights is a cornerstone in the foundation of the European Union and should be strongly reflected in the strategy on the external dimension of the area of freedom, security and justice. This means that we not only ask the Commission and the Council to produce human rights compliance reports on external dimension activities, we also suggest that the European Union Agency on Fundamental Rights assist the EU institutions in assessing the compliance with human rights of EU agreements with third countries.
Not only should the EU institutions promote and safeguard human rights in the EU’s own activities, the conclusions of the work in the Temporary Committee on the alleged use of countries by the CIA for the transport and illegal detention of prisoners were clear. Where and when the EU concludes that serious breaches in the protection of fundamental rights have taken place on its territory or by cooperating partner countries, action should be taken to reveal this and to guarantee that security concerns never undermine respect for the fundamental rights of individuals.
Democratic accountability and the external dimension of the area of freedom, security and justice is fundamental, and it provides for high standards by the EU in its efforts to improve cooperation between the EU and international organisations, such as the Council of Europe, the OSCE and the United Nations."@en1
