lpv:translated text	"With the exception of the Kyrgyz Republic, developments in the Central Asia region are alarming for more than one reason. Firstly, in terms of human rights and democracy, the abuse of many women (forced marriages, sexual exploitation, rape, etc.) and child labour in the region are totally unacceptable. Next, in terms of health, the increase in infectious diseases (particularly HIV) remains worrying. Finally, Central Asia will not benefit from effective integration into the world economic system until all five countries in the area have joined the WTO (the Kyrgyz Republic has been a member since 1998). The EU’s strategy for Central Asia can make an effective contribution to the economic and human development of this region of the world. The European Union must not neglect Central Asia, which is a strategic crossroads between Europe and Asia and a traditional partner in trade relations and energy cooperation. I strongly support this text in its desire to see the EU’s priorities in Central Asia clarified, the European projects launched in the region strengthened and their implementation accelerated. That is why I voted for the report."@en1
