lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I must admit that I was quite stunned to hear Baroness Ashton’s first speech on the expropriation of Repsol in Argentina. This came in a debate on human rights and in a week when there was a in Guinea-Bissau, a country much closer to the European Union, which has served as a platform for arms and drug trafficking into the EU and which received no more than a mere press release from her office, when it deserved more; a country from which our EU delegation was withdrawn and where Baroness Ashton has still not reinstated that delegation. It is a West African country that is at risk of becoming a failed state – if it is not one already – and I wish there were as much urgency in dealing with these issues as there has been in dealing with Repsol, at a time when the EU has vessels flying German flags sailing through Cypriot ports and exporting arms to Syria, at a time when the EU has companies selling Internet censorship and monitoring software to dictatorial regimes, and at a time when international agreements with only the vaguest of references to human rights continue to be concluded. I would like to see the same kind of readiness to accede to our requests to punish these companies as there has been to come out in Repsol’s defence. There has been enough playing around with human rights. Let us make the new strategies public. Let us be consistent in how we deal with the internal and external dimensions of fundamental rights. In fact, the report by Mr Howitt, whom I thank for his collaboration and the extremely concrete and practical suggestions he has included therein, is a valuable tool for the Commission’s future action. As shadow rapporteur for Mr Howitt and as rapporteur for the political and strategic review of fundamental rights in Europe, I hope that the farces can end and the real work can begin. For this I am ready, Baroness Ashton, but for the rest, I am not."@en1
