"− The attitude of the EU towards its Eastern and Mediterranean neighbours has often neglected dialogue with civil society, striving to provide stability but not to promote human rights. This resolution calls for the governments of Syria, Bahrain and Yemen to respect their international commitment to observe human rights and fundamental freedoms, and calls for an end to the extraordinary situation, the release of all prisoners of conscience and human rights defenders, the strengthening of corruption prevention measures and the provision of access to communication. I am, of course, in favour. However, I would like to ask those who have ‘unexpectedly’ become concerned about the situation in these countries: where were you before? Bearing in mind the recommendation of the European Parliament, I can imagine what will happen when half-literate people are taught democracy without a transitional period! It is necessary to approach the end of civil conflict in these countries in a serious, pragmatic and discreet manner. A long-term transitional programme is necessary."@en1
