"Broadly speaking, I share the overall outline of the Howitt report and its emphasis on the potential of the Internet to expose the truth and the triumph of freedom. This is one of the great achievements of the Arab Spring. On the other hand, the protection of religious minorities in the world deserved more attention. Defending freedom of religion is a modern and secular struggle, which primarily affects Christian minorities around the world: Coptic Christians in Egypt, minorities in Syria, northern Mali, Nigeria and Kenya, Laos and Vietnam, and so on.
I would also like to mention the ‘biased view’ of human rights embodied in a whole host of new amendments. Condemning ‘the security vigilance’ of Colombia, Israel or Morocco is missing the point. What these three countries have in common is they have never traded in the security of their citizens and they have all achieved results in the fight against terrorism. These three States have combined freedom and security and share the same values as the European Union. It is through standing firm on the ideals of tolerance and freedom, but also by carefully choosing its allies, that the EU will have a greater voice on the international stage."@en1
