lpv:translated text	"Mr President, religious freedom is recognised in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and also in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Egypt has been a State Party since 1982. Moreover, we know how important freedom of demonstration and expression is. The seriousness of what happened on 9 October 2011 in Cairo lies in the fact that disproportionate force was used against demonstrators who were part of a minority demanding protection for their religious freedom. There needs to be a rigorous investigation into what took place, and the guilty parties should be punished, as Mr Pöttering quite rightly said. Ms Ashton, religious freedom must be protected, and all countries must respect it, as this Parliament called for in its resolution of 20 January 2011. We want an Egypt of freedom, justice and peace; an Egypt that keeps its distance from events such as these. What is more, Egypt is a great country and a leader in the Arab world: what goes on there has major repercussions. Recent events cannot happen again. Egypt should be an example of tolerance and harmony, not one of violence and violated freedoms. The EU should do its utmost to see that freedoms are respected during the transitions taking place in the Arab world, which we wish to promote and accompany. In recent months, Christian leaders and representatives of civil society expressed their concern to me over the situation regarding religious freedom in their particular countries. Baroness Ashton, I would like you to keep us informed of the measures you intend to propose in order to strengthen the action taken by the EU in this area, as the Foreign Affairs Council asked you to do in February."@en1
