90. poziva Svet in Komisijo, naj v sklopu pogajanj o nadgradnji dvostranskih odnosov oblikujeta pododbore za človekove pravice z vsemi sosednjimi državami, zlasti z Izraelom, v skladu z namenom, ki sta ga obe strani izrazili ob zaključku pridružitvenega sveta 16. junija 2008; pozdravlja prvo srečanje pododborov s palestinskimi oblastmi 2. decembra 2008; ponovno poziva k temu, da bi bili poslanci vključeni v pripravo teh srečanj in bi bili obveščeni o njihovem izidu; ponovno poudarja, da se seje pododborov, kot v primeru Tunizije,lahko osredotočijo na doseganje trajnosti pododborov in spodbujanje zaupanja med partnerji; poudarja, da se mora pododbor za Maroko končno usmeriti v doseganje rezultatov, za kar bi bilo treba pripraviti konkretna merila in kazalnike napredka, odprta pa bi morala biti tudi možnost obravnavanja posameznih primerov; poudarja, da se razprave o človekovih pravicah vseeno ne smejo omejiti zgolj na pododbore in poudarja pomen usklajevanja z drugimi pododbori, ki obravnavajo vprašanja, povezana s človekovimi pravicami, na primer migracije; poudarja, da je treba ta vprašanja vključiti v politični dialog na najvišji ravni, da se poveča usklajenost politike EU na tem področju in zmanjšajo razhajanja v izjavah o položaju človekovih pravic, ki jih obe strani dajeta tisku; v zvezi s sklenitvijo okvirnega sporazuma z Libijo pozdravlja začetek pogajanj in poziva Svet in Komisijo, naj namenita ustrezno pozornost dialogu in sodelovanju glede človekovih pravic;
Urges the Council and the Commission to set up human rights subcommittees with all neighbourhood countries, and in particular with Israel, as part of the negotiations on an upgrading of the bilateral relations and in accordance with the intention expressed by both parties as a result of the Association Council on 16 June 2008; welcomes the first meeting of the subcommittee with the Palestinian Authority on 2 December 2008; reiterates its call for parliamentarians to be associated with the preparations for meetings of such subcommittees and to be informed of their outcome; points out once again that, as in the case of Tunisia, the subcommittees’ sessions might focus on establishing the durability of the subcommittee concerned and fostering trust and confidence amongst the partners; points out that the subcommittee dealing with Morocco should eventually move towards a results-oriented phase, with the establishment of concrete benchmarks and indicators of progress, as well as the possibility of raising individual cases; stresses that discussions on human rights should certainly not be confined to these subcommittees, and emphasises the importance of coordination with other subcommittees dealing with human rights-related issues, such as migration; highlights the need to include these issues in the political dialogue up to the highest level so as to enhance the coherence of the EU’s policy in this field and reduce discrepancies in statements on the human rights situation given by both sides to the press; in the context of concluding a framework agreement with Libya, welcomes the opening of the negotiations and calls on the Council and the Commission to give due attention to dialogue and cooperation on human rights;
