Mr President, Belarus represents a major challenge for the European Union, since the pressure we have brought to bear on it so far has been ineffective.
We must now take action in support of democracy in Belarus. This will call for a number of organisational measures. Our monitoring of human rights in Belarus should be based on Parliament’s annual Report on Human Rights in the World and on information provided by the special Commission and Council representative for Belarusian affairs. Parliamentary resolutions should be reserved for new and critical situations.
Our actions should be based on the Neighbourhood Policy instrument, or on a separate human rights instrument where the political and legal environment is hostile. In particular, EU commitments to finance independent media must be developed, in conjunction with reliable partners. The latest Commission competition has raised the doubts that are set out in the most recent question to the Commission tabled today."@en1
