lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that we need to look at two things together in this regard. The first is the situation in Nigeria, a country that is involved with the ACP and with which we have good relations. Commissioner, you know better than I do how help is actually being provided here, and that we need to bear in mind that the government does, in actual, fact have a rich country on account of the deposits of raw materials, which, as Mr Šťastný said, should, in fact, be used to provide better social and living conditions. Secondly, we need to realise that Boko Haram puts forward arguments and acts in the same way as other Islamic groups and states do in their persecution of Christians. Seventy-five per cent of all instances of the persecution of people on account of their religious conviction currently involve the persecution of Christians. It is clear that the entire Islamic world – including the representatives of the Islamic faith, although they have no central institutions – is called on here finally to take action against such acts of violence and to clearly distance themselves from these acts. I believe that this is the only available course of action. We have concerns in Syria and in Egypt and similar areas, and we know what the outcome was in Iraq, for example. For that reason, I believe that the fact that the External Action Service intends to appoint a Special Representative for Human Rights for this purpose is important, and, in this regard, the departments dealing with the persecution of Christians in particular must also be represented. This is not something that should only apply to Christians; we need to realise that it is relevant to all religious convictions, which must be permitted and must not be persecuted, but, as Europe, which is founded on Christianity, we should also have the opportunity to state very clearly that Christians must not be persecuted."@en1
