Thank you very much Mr. Lambrinidis. I am sure the question of Syria will be raised by members. The plight of the Syrian people dominates the agenda, particularly the atrocities, the recent murder of 65 young men, families disappearing and the atrocities we see on our television screens each night. What next for Syria? It appears to be a hopeless case. In his role as EU Special Representative for Human Rights, will Mr. Lambrinidis outline what can the EU do to bring those who commit these atrocities to the International Criminal Court when all this is over? That question can be answered later as I am sure there will be other questions on Syria.
