lpv:translated text	"I must point out that last week two of our Members of Parliament were amongst a group of Europeans who were detained at the Havana airport and were not allowed to enter the country, in which they had arrived on tourist visas with a view to attending the ‘Assembly to promote civil society’. I must point out that the Presidency had no knowledge of that visit to Cuba, that the said group was not an official parliamentary delegation and that the Presidency was not informed afterwards by the Members in question. But that will not prevent me from expressing the concern and condemnation that I share with the Commission and the Council with regard to these incidents. I have raised this issue with the Cuban authorities, but I also believe that I must tell you that the recipient of the European Parliament’s Sakharov Prize Mr Payá – has been very critical of the said meeting, which he has described as a great fraud against the opposition. It is no weakness to be courteous, but I believe that we should all seek the best possible information about the political events that we attend. I would insist that this in no way means that the actions of the Cuban authorities do not warrant condemnation, but I also believe that you should be made aware of this situation and of the opinion of a person to whom this Parliament has paid tribute."@en1
