"The European Union considers human rights to be universal and indivisible, and it takes an active role in enforcing and protecting them both within its own borders and in its relations with third countries. The EU has incorporated human rights in detailed laws which I recognise and support. I therefore voted in favour of this motion for a resolution. The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy visited Parliament in December 2011 and presented her statement in which she placed human rights and democracy at the heart of EU foreign policy activities. In this context, I would also like to draw attention to the point of this document which stresses the EU’s active participation in the work of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). I note with regret that the High Representative will not be attending its next session. Out of the countries with problematic human rights situations, I am particularly familiar with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on the personal experience I obtained during the November 2011 election observations, I find that the presence of independent human rights experts in the country is indispensable."@en1
