"Right up until the breakthrough of the wave of democracy in the Arab countries, the European Parliament has constantly been calling on the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council to improve the situation as regards democracy, the rule of law, and human rights and freedoms. Our Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats stressed in particular the need for reforms in social policy and the safeguarding of increased freedoms for unions. We firmly opposed executions and the trampling of women’s rights. By voting in favour of this report, I support the demonstrations for democracy and human rights in Bahrain and condemn the government’s violent response. I support the rapporteur’s calls to share with the Gulf countries the EU Member States’ experience introducing technologies for extracting renewable energy sources. I also spoke in favour of speeding up negotiations on a free trade agreement between the EU and the countries of the Gulf. There is clear potential for cooperation between these two regions not just on the economy, but also on issues of international security, combating terrorism, diplomatic mediation in Middle Eastern conflicts, intercultural dialogue and global economic governance."@en1
