"Poland has never had any colonies so I am sure that I will not be suspected of imperialism. I would like to make three brief comments. Firstly, Ms Ojuland is quite right: we should not allow oil to blind us to human rights issues. Mr Deva is, of course, absolutely correct: things are worse in other Arab countries. That cannot, however, justify not mentioning these cases in the United Arab Emirates. Secondly, Ms Korhola is right to state that winter is now upon us as far as human rights are concerned. That could, however, have been predicted earlier. Some people, myself included, warned that it was likely that the Arab Spring would only lead to one set of free elections: those in which Islamic fundamentalists gained power. Finally, by its very nature, the European Parliament is a forum that holds more discussions about human rights than the European Commission or the Council. This is because the latter entities are more concerned with business and oil."@en1
