"The appointment of an EU Special Representative for Human Rights demonstrates the importance that the EU wants to give to this area; it is clearly self-serving in nature. By creating a ‘face’, the EU wants to give more visibility to a hypocritical policy that creates or makes use of intervention and aggression processes wherever and whenever the EU’s interests are at stake. In view of the EU’s political practices, the appointment of a representative is not aimed at actually defending human rights, which should be, above all, a cross-cutting practice: instead, it steps up the manipulation and minimisation of human rights. It reinforces a policy linking several EU instruments, such as the European External Action Service, with all those available for interference in countries where the EU has geostrategic, economic and financial interests, in breach of these peoples’ sovereignty and in defence of the interests of the major EU powers. As the crisis in the EU is demonstrating, big companies in the EU are attempting to emerge from the crisis by increasing exploitation of the workers and by dominating natural, energy and food resources, as well as markets. The actions of whoever is appointed by the EU will contribute to this objective."@en1
