"Mr President, I knew there was a way you were going to get Strasbourg into the conversation.
There is a continual tension – and I have been involved in this tension as coordinator on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs – when we focus on an individual Member State clearly in a state of flux, particularly in relation to its record on the judiciary and on policing and criminal justice. There is no question that this creates tension and conflict.
The stimulus for this debate is clearly an incident which is causing deep emotion, and that is well placed. But there is no question that we have Copenhagen criteria and there is no question that this is a matter for the whole of the European Union. We are a community of values. If we can help a Member State by focusing on those values – the Centre for European Policy Studies has said that after 20 years of democratic development judicial independence still remains a key and deep problem – and if, five years after accession there are still deep problems and there is some way we can address these problems, that is something we have to do. If this debate helps to do that, then that is something that we need to debate."@en1
