lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I am interested in discussing what can be done, and not what cannot be done. Up until now we have mainly talked about what cannot be done. I would therefore ask the Commissioner to make a note of three things that can be done. Firstly, diplomats from the EU Member States can be instructed to monitor the pre-election situation in Belarus and to inform the EU institutions, including the European Parliament, on a weekly basis. Secondly, Commission officials can be ordered to conduct urgent political consultations with states with which the EU maintains contacts, in particular with the United States and Russia, with regard to the development of the pre-election situation in Belarus and to defining the scope of joint appraisals. As an MEP I would also like to be kept informed on this issue. Thirdly, financial assistance can be provided for young people in Belarus who wish to study abroad, for example in Poland, and for small businesses that wish to develop outside the Lukashenko administration’s sphere of influence. This third point requires only a small amount of money, but it requires a great deal of courage, and I hope that the Commission will not lack this courage. Finally, I have something to say to the speaker who could see no difference between Cuba and Belarus. Here is a difference that is worth remembering: Cubans escape at night on boats to the United States and die . Belarussians travel by car to Poland, that is, to the European Union, in order to find jobs and return to Belarus. That difference is certainly worth remembering."@en1
