Question No 6 by Philip Claeys ()
It is reported that Kazakhstan is putting itself forward as a candidate to hold the Chairmanship of the OSCE in 2009. The Foreign Affairs Minister of the country holding the Chairmanship represents the organisation and coordinates all the activities of the OSCE.
Kazakhstan is well known to be a country which has never held an election meeting international standards, and where human rights are in a very poor state.
The EU Member States very often act together as a block in the OSCE. Unanimity is particularly to be expected on an issue as fundamental as this, in which an undemocratic country is pushing itself forward to be Chairman-in-Office of the OSCE. This difficult decision is to be taken in November.
Is there a consensus within the General Affairs Council that the candidacy of Kazakhstan is unacceptable? Will the Member States present a united front?"@en1
