"Mr President, I think the European Union has a reputation, rightly so, for being the biggest contributor to humanitarian development aid worldwide and indeed also to the promotion of human rights. In this sense we are probably in a better position to do it than anyone else, but sometimes, when we discuss urgency motions here on Thursday afternoons, I am often surprised at the fact that we continue to give support, of one kind or another, to countries where human rights are grossly disrespected. I think we should be tougher with these countries, to make it clear that our aid is conditional on respect for human rights. Sometimes I think we skip over that a little and certainly it is something we should demand, that countries should sign up to conventions and observe them, and especially so in relation to respect for women in many places of the world where it is far below any normal expectations."@en1
