"Madam President, the Treaty on European Union provides a legal basis for appointing a European Union Special Representative for Human Rights, since it states: ‘The Council may, on a proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, appoint a special representative with a mandate in relation to particular policy issues’. Right from the start, the European Parliament was in favour of taking advantage of this possibility. We have called, on many occasions, for the appointment of a European Union Special Representative for Human Rights, for example, in Parliament’s 2009 and 2010 resolutions on the annual reports on human rights in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter. For this reason, we give our unequivocal support today to the recommendation to the Council drafted by Mr Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra on a European Union Special Representative for Human Rights and we do this wholeheartedly, as this has long been Parliament’s position."@en1
