lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the fact that you are chairing today’s debate is highly symbolic and I thank you for that. In my speeches I mention at every opportunity the request by the leaders of civil society in Ukraine and in the EU to the Member States and EU institutions, and to the Ukrainian Government and Supreme Council, for Europe to give greater consideration to the Ukraine-EU visa issue. As Ukraine is one of the European Union’s strategic partners, I welcome today’s debate and the information the Commissioner has provided. While I accept that this is a very demanding process, I also think that it is vital to find a solution. Visa issue involving Belarusian citizens were also examined during Belarus Week in the European Parliament at meetings with Alexander Milinkevich, the winner of the Sakharov Prize. It is our duty to help the people who are the hapless victims of Lukashenko’s regime. Ladies and gentlemen, we have to adopt as quickly as possible a solution to simplify the visa regime: that will send a positive and constructive signal to the pro-European and pro-democratic forces in Ukraine and Belarus."@en1
