"An independent foreign policy is essential for maintaining national sovereignty. Each Member State’s foreign relations must be subject to democratic control. The EU must not conduct a common foreign policy because such a development risks taking away from people their opportunity to hold their elected politicians accountable for their actions in their relations with foreign countries.
The present report contains a number of important statements supporting specific aspects of human rights. Naturally I have voted in favour of these. However, the report as a whole is a means of promoting the EU’s positions on foreign policy.
I have therefore voted against it in the final vote."@en1
