". The recent events in Tunisia have raised for discussion again the effectiveness of the EU’s neighbourhood policy in the Mediterranean basin. The European Parliament’s resolution sends a powerful signal in this respect. Unfortunately, the citizens’ battle for respect for their rights did not receive European support due to the lack of a specific mechanism in the association agreement. As a result, the trouble was violently suppressed and human lives were lost. I therefore welcome the initiative to set up a commission of inquiry. Moreover, I believe that monitoring the application of the human rights clause will avoid a recurrence of such incidents. The Tunisian people need support in developing properly working state institutions. At EU level, the case of Tunisia urgently necessitates a change of priorities with regard to third countries. Respect for human rights should form the basis for political dialogue. The EU must maintain its consistent message so as not to lose its credibility."@en1
