"I, too, wish to say that I am appalled by the way in which the law we are discussing is presented. It goes without saying that we cannot accept in Europe sanctions being imposed against a person for their sexual orientation and for failing to provide information about a person’s sexual orientation. I would also like to stress that the discussion we are having is taking place in the context where the second review of the Cotonou Agreement is being discussed. Uganda is a party to this, and this agreement very clearly sets out the need to respect human rights. I also voted on Monday this week, as part of the Committee on Development, for a report by Mrs Jolie on this topic of the Cotonou Agreement. I believe that today’s discussion, although it could have taken place earlier last month, puts us in this position where we obviously cannot but reject what is happening in Uganda."@en1
