"Mr President, Commissioner, this draft is an attack on the European textile industry, there is no question about that. However, allow me also to bring in a humanitarian aspect. Extensive duty exemptions must be linked to an absolute obligation to respect human rights. In this regard, I am thinking of Christian minorities and women’s rights. The blasphemy law in Pakistan is particularly worrying: anyone who insults Mohammed is sentenced to death. Fundamentalism is widespread in Pakistan across all levels of society and can even be detected among students at the renowned International Islamic University. You clearly do not believe the argument yourself that trade preferences can be used to promote prosperity and combat radicalism. The EU cannot simply grant trade preferences where this ignores or fails to require compliance with important matters of basic law."@en1
