lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am pleased that we are having this debate, which was instigated by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe. The situation of the Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian doctor is truly a nightmare. For six long years, these people – who have devoted their lives to saving lives and caring for their fellow human beings – have languished in prison in Libya in loathsome conditions. The situation is Kafkaesque. The charges against them are unfounded, as researchers have shown. On 29 March, a court is finally to make a pronouncement on the death sentences against these six people, and this date is therefore incredibly critical. The EU must do everything in its power to secure the immediate release of those concerned. In just a few years’ time, Bulgaria will be a member of the EU. We therefore have a responsibility to these citizens. In our work on a gradual rapprochement between the EU and Libya within the context of the Barcelona Process, this case is a critical test of the direction that relations between us may take. If the death sentences are carried out, I believe that any future cooperation will be made impossible. At the same time, it is, of course, a terrible tragedy for the children who have been infected with AIDS and their families. The EU can do more. I am very pleased that the Commissioner supports the action plan and sees opportunities for the EU to support Libya in this way so that better care might be obtained in future for those infected with HIV. Mr President, this is an incredibly important issue. We expect the Council and the Commission to give it priority and to follow events extremely carefully in the period up to 29 March when the court once again pronounces on the case."@en1
