"I have already tabled several questions to the European Union and Baroness Ashton on how they intend to intervene to protect religious minorities and civil rights in the Arab countries. In particular, they must focus on the Christian minorities in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. I believe that the transition must take place with respect for those countries’ obligations as regards civil and religious rights. The European Union must have the courage to break off diplomatic relations with those countries that do not respect these rights. As far as the situation in Syria and Iran is concerned, the EU must intervene to ensure respect for the right of those countries’ citizens to demonstrate freely. I condemn any attempt to restrict the free flow of information, attacks on and intimidation of journalists and defenders of human rights. I should like to stress that the citizens’ democratic aspirations must be respected through dialogue and political reforms, with full protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and through free and fair elections."@en1
