lpv:translated text	"Everything you have explained is absolutely right, Commissioner. We totally agree with it. We also agree with your conclusions: we need to be more consistent. There is one point that I would like to emphasise, however, in the little speaking time we are allowed, regarding this question of consistency. A lot is demanded from Europe in the area of human rights around the world, and Europe is strongly criticised in the area of human rights around the world. People say that Europe applies its principles only when it is convenient to do so, or only for the benefit of its own citizens. The only response to these demands and criticisms lies in there being consistency between the EU’s foreign and domestic policies in the area of human rights. We cannot have credibility around the world if the measures we adopt in the management of immigration, in particular, and in our policies in response to the tragic events caused by terrorism, are not exemplary in terms of human rights. That, Commissioner, is the basic, fundamental issue: consistency in human rights terms between the EU’s foreign and domestic policies. That said, two priorities perhaps need to be stressed, and I shall make use of the little time I have left. The fight against the death penalty is something that our contemporary generations may see culminate in success. That is a possible goal, and we must focus on it. Secondly, I am pleased that the feminisation of the European Union’s human rights policy has been enhanced during this term of the French Presidency with a specific policy in this field of the human rights of women."@en1
