"Mr President, I am pleased to follow Mr Hannan once again – but not, of course in his attitude to the European Union. In fact I think it is good that we have been discussing this today, because I think the European Union – uniquely – has an opportunity to influence the growth of democracy and human rights on the world stage that major powers such as the USA, the USSR (now Russia), China, etc., cannot do, because they would be seen to be taking care of their own vested interests, whereas we can be seen to be more objective. It is only right that we should put human rights at the forefront of our policies and, especially in this report, highlight the need for equality amongst the sexes and especially the treatment of women in so many countries around the world.
It is not right, it is not fair, it is not human and certainly it is not utilising the great resource that is there to allow women to develop in terms of business, in terms of peace-making, etc. These matters are highlighted; I agree with them, and I think we have a lot to offer to the world in that regard."@en1
