"I welcome the well-prepared report by Mr Richard Howitt. At each plenary session of Parliament, we discuss specific cases of breaches of human rights worldwide. Most human rights violations are associated with extreme poverty, and it is therefore essential that we develop a set of principles on the application of standards and criteria relating to human rights in the context of the fight against extreme poverty. Similarly to the rapporteur, I see the Annual Report on Human Rights in the World presented by the European External Action Service as being largely descriptive. Following the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty and the creation of the European External Action Service, more specific, longer term measures and objectives were needed for the promotion of, and respect for, human rights globally, to which the report could have referred. The EU supports many development programmes in which it should set specific, measurable and time-bound objectives for human rights and democracy."@en1
