"Question No 14 by José Ribeiro e Castro ():
The European Union has been developing a policy of constructive dialogue with Cuba. This development was based on the assumption that the Communist regime in Cuba was prepared to open up to some degree and the hope that it might help bring about a move towards democracy and full respect for human rights. The European Parliament held a debate on the extremely serious situation in Cuba on 10 April 2003 and adopted a resolution.
What specific political consequences does the Council draw from the abrupt change in the situation in Cuba? Will the Council continue with the policy which was on the point of being finalised, even though the Cuban regime has brutally overturned the assumptions on which it was based? What steps is the Council taking – and what further steps can it take – to secure the release of all political prisoners being detained by the Cuban regime? Does the Council share the view that, particularly following the award of the 2002 Sakharov prize and certainly throughout 2003, all the European institutions have an even greater responsibility to act firmly and in a spirit of solidarity in support of all those people in Cuba who merely wish to be able to exercise their basic human freedom and who believe in democracy and human rights, including for the people of Cuba?"@en1
