Proceeding contribution from Mark Lazarowicz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

It was obviously right for the Council to concentrate as a priority on the bloodshed and murderous actions of the Assad regime in Syria, but does not the example of what happened in Libya at the weekend emphasise why we should not lose focus on what is happening elsewhere in the middle east and north Africa? In view of some of the reverses that have taken place, will the Prime Minister give us an update on what the European Union is doing to support moves towards democracy and human rights in those countries?
