lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it is 30 years since I first visited the Gulf States and the United Arab Emirates, and this region must have come further in 30 years than 21st-century England since Richard the Lionheart. It is my belief, therefore, that ideological responses will not get us very far. We must behave with fairness towards this region. It is the case that the Gulf States, and the United Arab Emirates in particular, have probably the fairest governments in the region. However, we must naturally criticise all instances of human rights violations. That is why we are calling for the release of political prisoners; that is why we are calling, for example, for the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung to be able to re-open its external office. We are voicing criticism, but we cannot make urgent and unfair political demands of a generalised nature. That is why we are making quite that we want to reserve this urgency for core human rights and that we are offering the United Arab Emirates a fair human rights partnership. We are not opposed to this region. We are the fair partners of this region. We are critical, but we recognise what a long way the UAE has come and has still to go."@en1
