European Union action on conflict in the Middle East

The Middle East poses very difficult questions but, acting together, the EU and its Member states can be a force for good in this troubled region. From Israel and Palestine to Iran, the European Union is working to promote dialogue and reconciliation and the fight for human rights.

Vice-Chair of the Iran Delegation

I’m delighted to have been elected as the Vice-Chair of the European Parliament’s Iran Delegation.

This is a worrying time in the Persian Gulf. If we can play a small part in the European Parliament in promoting peace in the region then I think we’ll be doing something very valuable indeed.

If I can play a small part in that I’ll be deeply honoured and very proud to be representing Britain as an MEP taking part in the European Union as a real peace project – not just for peace within our own borders, but around the world.
