Mr President, Mr Winkler, thank you very much for that answer.
Unfortunately, no human rights dialogue is taking place in Iran. Nothing has happened. The current human rights abuses in Iran are on a vast scale. Iran has a regime that breaches most human rights. This is a state of affairs that rather recedes into the background when we debate the nuclear weapons programme, which is of course incredibly important.
I believe that a well thought-out strategy is required for dealing with the human rights situation in Iran, and I wonder if we might perhaps draw on our experience from the period when we supported the Belorussian opposition by broadcasting to it from Europe in Belorussian. I wonder if that experience is something we can draw on.
