"Madam President, we are going to have a Special EU Representative for Human Rights, yet another new agency with its own staff, its own budget, etc. Yet another new figure who will be Europe’s spokesperson abroad. What the European Union needs is credibility, credibility that can only be achieved through consistency. Because, how is it possible, for example, to negotiate about the accession of a country like Turkey, which is violating human rights on a large scale? How is it that a partnership and cooperation agreement has been reached with a country like Vietnam, a communist country where the human rights situation is precarious and where we cannot seriously even speak about human rights. The same applies to our relations with China. And what is the European Union doing for the Afrikaners in South Africa? I have the unfortunate impression that the European Union is blind in one eye."@en1
