"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, there can be no doubt that this appointment is an extremely important event or that the European Union should look after the weak and the vulnerable if it wishes to be even more real, authoritative and charismatic. There can be no doubt that choosing a Special Representative for Human Rights is an extremely valuable thing to do. My congratulations of course go to Mr Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra on the outstanding work he has done. Solidarity, accountability and cooperation: the Member States that put these qualities into practice need to be consistently supported, and we also need to impose conditions favouring those third countries that show particular interest in, and pay attention to, the protection of fundamental rights. That is with regard to trade relations. On the subject of immigration, we still have a number of unresolved issues concerning the protection of fundamental rights for people who flee their native countries because they can see their interests and needs being trampled on there. We need to treat these people with great respect as well. It is a question of natural rights, rights that are inherent to the individual and closely linked to the growth of his or her personality. The European Union must therefore ensure that this role is fulfilled as effectively as possible. The person who is chosen must have two qualities: charisma and courage, and must believe wholeheartedly in the job he or she is appointed to do."@en1
