"In view of the recent events which have taken place in Tunisia, I would like to express my solidarity with the people of that country. As the European Union, we must support the Tunisian people, whose protests and demonstrations have enabled them to free themselves and regain their liberty from a regime which has lasted for many years. I would also like to condemn the repressions and acts of violence committed by the security services and directed at the demonstrators. I fully endorse the appeal made by the European Union. Unfortunately, the events in Tunisia have yet again revealed the weakness of Union foreign policy. The European External Action Service and the European Commission should be called upon to take more tangible measures. In its joint external actions, the Union should call greater attention to issues related to the protection of human rights and democracy. During the vote on the motion for a resolution of the European Parliament describing the situation in Tunisia I voted in favour, because I think that we, the European Union, have the perfect opportunity to help build civil society in Tunisia."@en1
