lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by congratulating our rapporteur, Mr Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra, on his excellent report, which summarises perfectly the challenges involved in creating such a post and the strict conditions that must accompany it. The appointment of a special representative is the logical continuation, on the one hand, of one of the legal pillars of our institutions, notably Articles 21 and 33 of the Treaty, and, on the other hand, of the significant progress represented by the EU’s accession to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. If it adopts this report, the European Parliament will also be taking the opportunity to monitor the activities of the Special Representative and, thus, part of the EU’s new external policy. I hope that the roles played by the Union and by Parliament will also be strengthened as a result. However, the importance of this position is not so much the creation of the post itself, which must be held by someone honest, qualified, dynamic and determined, but the political message it will send to all third countries. This message covers several levels. On the one hand, the EU’s international commitment to promoting human rights and democracy will be strengthened and consolidated. The shared responsibility of the EU and the Member States to protect and promote these rights will become stronger because it will be embodied by the Special Representative. The common security policy and the common external policy will become more coherent, effective and visible. Finally, the Union’s role as an advocate of human rights will be consolidated. In conclusion, I would like to stress that this post must not be a mere honorary position or the umpteenth empty shell, but a powerful mandate to move towards a freer world in which the dignity of all human beings is respected and in which human rights and fundamental freedoms are guaranteed."@en1
