"Europe must step up its pressure on governments which have no qualms in killing people of their country who dream of being free from dictatorship. In Syria, the army is systematically preventing hospitals from treating the injured and is killing and torturing children. We are faced with countless crimes which cannot go unpunished. The reforms promised by Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad have not been implemented. Syrian people no longer have faith in him. They are, on the contrary, calling for us to take action, to remind the Syrian authorities that no one is above the law, compliance with international standards or human rights.
I voted in favour of this resolution, as we cannot remain silent in the face of atrocities and massacres which are committed in the EU’s neighbouring regions. We cannot wait any longer for a United Nations resolution. It is our duty to offer our active support to the Syrian people, because the European project is about a set of core values embodying openness, human rights, compliance with standards, solidarity, justice and equality."@en1
