for External Relations and the Presidency in June 2001. Respect of human and civil rights constitutes an
essential element of the agreement. It was made clear at the time that the Commission expected this and
other cases to be resolved in the best traditions of the Egyptian legal system.

It is the Commission’s view that the new Association Agreement with Egypt will significantly bolster these
causes by providing a new framework within which they can be discussed and promoted.

(2002/C 160 E/028)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2641/01

by Anna Karamanou (PSE) to the Commission

(28 September 2001)

Subject: Arrest of eight foreign nationals by the Taliban in Afghanistan

Since 5 August, the Taliban Islamic fundamentalist regime has held eight foreign nationals (four German,
two Australian and two American) and 16 Afghans working for the NGO, Shelter Now International, in
custody charged with attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity. At the same time, hundreds of
humanitarian aid workers are helping many thousands of Afghan civilians to survive the civil war. Under
Islamic law, the sharia, the accused may face the death sentence.

What measures and diplomatic initiatives will the Commission take to compel the Islamic regime to
guarantee the safety of the foreign nationals in its custody and respect their human rights, and what steps
will it take to exert pressure on the unlawful government of Afghanistan to comply with international law
and respect religious freedom, the right of freedom of expression and free will?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(24 October 2001)

The three governments directly concerned with regard to the trial of the eight foreign aid workers
currently ongoing in Kabul have indicated to the international community that, at this stage, they prefer to
deal with the matter on a bilateral basis.

The Commission fully respects this position. It stands ready with other partners in the Union to make
appropriate interventions should the German, Australian or American governments so request.

The Honourable Member will be aware that on matters such as relations with the current regime in Kabul,
the Commission acts in collaboration with the Member States. In this regard, it has adopted a Common
Position on Afghanistan (2001/56/CFSP) on 22 January 2001 (1), which lists amongst the objectives of the
Union in Afghanistan the promotion of ‘respect for international humanitarian law and human rights,
including rights of women and children’.

Through the Common Position, the Union has imposed an arms embargo on the whole of Afghanistan
and enforces the sanctions against the Taliban regime set out in the United Nations (UN) Security Council
Resolutions 1267 and 1333.
