"Mr President, I abstained from the vote on the joint resolution on Ukraine. I am sure that democracy in Ukraine is not functioning in accordance with our standards; there are accusations of abuse of power, although I believe that in such a case, in the case of a new democracy, such phenomena will exist. We even make such accusations in our own countries in the European Union. These are phenomena which trouble us and they arise in countries which are potential candidates, such as Turkey. Human rights are, unfortunately, trampled underfoot even in our partner countries. However, we are on the eve of the elections due to be held there and the resolution contains accusations which I personally have not yet cross-checked, however hard I have tried to obtain information on the matter. I believe the resolution goes too far; it may even be seen as interference in the internal affairs of a country. I reserve the right to formulate a personal opinion following my trip to Ukraine. For the moment, I shall abstain."@en1
