"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today’s debate seems full of contradictions to me, because this Chamber – encouraged by some groups – has always been committed to recognising gay and lesbian rights in Europe which, however, are still not recognised in the constitutions of some Member States – gay marriage, for example. These same Members who always push for recognition of these rights today accuse some of not wanting to recognise and protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons living outside Europe from discrimination. This is certainly not under discussion: all discrimination suffered by the LGBT community living outside Europe must be strongly condemned by everyone; the individuals who are victims of it, corrective rapes, these are issues we are discussing today. However, if we want to treat this debate as a serious one, the only way we can do so is to confirm the introduction of the principle of conditionality in relations with other States: any type of agreement, even trade agreements, that Europe has with these States must depend on them guaranteeing respect for human rights. If this does not happen, we have made another resolution which could perhaps show solidarity to someone, but which will not have any effect"@en1
