lpv:translated text	"Before proceeding to the approval of the amendments to the order of business that have been presented, I would like to make a statement on behalf of the Conference of Presidents. Ladies and gentlemen, 65 years ago today, in June 1940, three countries which are now members of the European Union — Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — lost their independence as a result of the Soviet occupation. As a result of this and for half a century, the citizens of those countries were deprived of their human rights and suffered terror and deportations. Today our institution is remembering these events, which, together with others, are part of our history. This is not the first time that the European Parliament has talked about this, it is not the first time that this Parliament has remembered the past of these countries, which today are members of the European Union. In 1983, 22 years ago now, this Parliament expressed its condemnation of the occupation of States by other States. And at these difficult times for the European Union, right now, we must remember that the accession of those Baltic states to the Union has contributed and will continue to contribute to promoting the objectives of freedom and prosperity for the citizens. Today we must express our pride in the fact that we can work together on the construction of a united Europe that shares common values. It is important to remember this, it is important to remember that the construction of a better future for all Europeans is based on respect for human rights and requires constant attention and vigilance, because people who forget their history run the risk of repeating it. Thank you very much."@en1
