lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would just like to respond to the contribution from Baroness Ludford, who commented on the fact that in my capacity as chair of the EU Turkey delegation, I am supposed to have requested that no delegation be sent to Leyla Zana’s trial. That is incorrect. I wrote a letter to you, Mr President, asking for the delegation to be postponed, not for it to be cancelled. That is an important difference, because I, too, realise how important this delegation is. Only it is also important to know when such a delegation will be going and who is going with it. It is not true that only the Christian Democrats, the Socialists and the Greens thought that 28 March might not be a particularly good date. Much more important was the fact that Mrs Zana herself let us know through her lawyer that it would not be a good thing to attend her trial on 28 March. I find it slightly odd that there are groups in this Parliament, and now Baroness Ludford too, who want to go whatever the cost because Parliament has decided to go. On the other hand, what the person we are visiting and want to support thinks about such a request is, in my view, very important. She has repeatedly told us that it would be much better to go at a later date with the full Parliament delegation. That is how the matter stands, and I think it is a pity that the Baroness has not put these things in a good light."@en1
