Mr President, Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner, ladies and gentlemen, from the very outset the European Union welcomed the creation of the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2006 but has always emphasised that it expects the Council to be an efficient and credible body making a genuine contribution to the global protection and promotion of human rights.
Arvoisa puhemies, arvoisa komission jäsen Ferrero-Waldner, hyvät parlamentin jäsenet, Euroopan unioni on tukenut vuonna 2006 perustettua YK:n ihmisoikeusneuvostoa sen perustamisesta saakka.
