"I voted in favour of the joint motion for a resolution on the situation in Syria because I share the concerns expressed regarding the serious episodes of repression which have been occurring in that country for many months. The demonstrations by those who call for reforms leading to greater democracy in Syria are being constantly and brutally repressed by the armed forces which, acting under orders from the government, react with torture, mass killings and the bombing of towns and villages, as stated in the United Nations reports. I endorse the appeal to the Syrian Government to cease all violence against civilians in order to ensure that human rights and fundamental freedoms, which have, for too long, been denied, are respected. I also support the call on the European Union to make greater efforts on the international stage in the defence of the oppressed Syrian people in such a way as to guarantee a common position within the United Nations Assembly and, in particular, the Security Council."@en1
