"Mr President, I should like to thank the Council for having turned its attention to Ukraine, the EU’s largest neighbour to the East. This is a country of 50 million inhabitants that covers an area greater than France. At present presidential elections are taking place in Ukraine. The Council is to be commended for highlighting the irregularities that occurred during the first round of voting, but I do not believe it has gone far enough in highlighting what is really happening in Ukraine. A civil society is coming into being in that country. There is no sign at all of anything of the kind happening in Russia or Belarus at present. Tens of thousands of people are demonstrating every day in Ukraine, with the aim of making their country democratic and honest, and of ensuring that links are built between Ukraine and the European Union. I do not believe it is enough merely to reprimand the current Ukrainian authorities for their failure to enforce democratic electoral rules. It is essential to boost the hopes of the people of Ukraine and open the door to their European ambitions."@en1
