lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we have heard that the Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister is to visit the EU and that you are going to receive him. I do not know if this is true, but we should like confirmation. If it is true, it would never even cross our minds to have him kicked out, unlike the Cuban Government, which did just that to Spanish and Dutch Members of this House a few months ago. On the contrary, we feel that he should be received and we want him to be received. There are three things that we would like to ask you to do once this visit is confirmed, Mr President. The first request is that you forward to the Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister the resolution adopted by Parliament on 17 November of last year, which is Parliament’s position on the Cuban situation. Secondly, if the Minister does come here, he will be coming without an invitation. We have nothing against this, but we have repeatedly invited Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, the 2002 Sakharov Prize winner, to come to Parliament, and it is this Minister’s government – the Cuban Government – that has not allowed him to come. We would therefore strongly urge you to emphasise that we want Oswaldo Payá to be able to come to Parliament to discuss the Cuban situation with us. Lastly, a request: I would ask them to release the political prisoners, to release the political prisoners in Cuba once and for all, and to announce a general amnesty, particularly for all those targeted by the March 2003 wave of repression."@en1
