European Parliament
President.
The next item is Question Time (B6-0013/2006 ).
The following questions have been submitted to the Council.
Part 1
Question No 1 by Eoin Ryan 
Subject: Ethiopian opposition figures
There are presently 131 senior opposition figures, including 10 elected members of the Ethiopian Parliament and including professors, judges and journalists, who are being detained in Ethiopia.
Can the Council state what measures it has taken to highlight these grave injustices with the Ethiopian Government in light of the fact that these detentions are in breach of international law, and taking into account that the European Union is the largest donor in the world of international aid to Ethiopia ?
