lpv:translated text	"− I voted for the motion for a resolution on the situation in Tunisia as I agree that we need to express our solidarity with and support for the Tunisian people, and their demands for democracy and social improvements. I think it is extremely important for Parliament to take up a position of robust support for the bravery and determination of oppressed peoples; in this case the people of Tunisia, where there have been mass demonstrations struggling to bring an end to the tyranny imposed by the now ex-President Ben Ali. It seems particularly important to me that the resolution believes that the neighbourhood policy needs to be revised, since – and I have condemned it numerous times for this – it is aimed more at concluding unfair free trade treaties than at development for the people, human rights, or ending autocracies and social injustices. I also voted for this resolution because I agree with its condemnation of the repression carried out by the Tunisian Government during the popular demonstrations, and because I agree with the demand for an independent investigation to be carried out both into that repression and into the widespread corrupt practices of the Ben Ali Government."@en1
