– Vor der Abstimmung über Ziffer 10.

  Laima Liucija Andrikienė, author. − Mr President, on behalf of the EPP Group, I would like to propose an oral amendment to paragraph 10 and the amendment is only one word. The word is ‘directly’. The amended paragraph 10 will read in the following way: ‘Stresses its strong disapproval regarding the lack of an EU response to the ongoing situation in Bahrain and calls on the VP/HR to condemn the ongoing violations of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms, to impose targeted restrictive measures (visa bans and asset freezes) on the individuals directly responsible for, or involved in, the human rights abuses (as documented in the BICI report) and to reconsider the EU’s current trade and diplomatic relations with Bahrain;’.
