lpv:translated text	"On this June day we are looking back on the six months of the Slovenian Presidency that is nearing its end. I want to join all those who have congratulated the Slovenian Presidency in the course of today’s debate. Slovenia, which is often confused with Slovakia, is a clear example of how a small Member State can bravely fulfil its role in the EU. For Slovakia, the country I come from, the Slovenian Presidency represents a historical period of time because it was during Slovenia’s term of office that the decision was made to allow Slovakia to join the euro zone. I want to thank the Slovenian Presidency for its constructive approach to the enhancement of the EU internal market. The goods package, adopted by the European Parliament with the help of the Slovenian Presidency, is the basic prerequisite for the revision of other sectoral directives, for example the Toys Directive or the Directives on cosmetics and construction products. However, I want to voice my disapproval of the hasty decision made at the June summit, when the EU sanctions against Cuba were abolished once and for all, without a thorough prior analysis of all aspects of Cubans’ lives. I call on the countries of the European Union to continue to insist on democracy and civil liberties in Cuba. I believe that following this move the EU will insist even more vigorously that the Cuban President, Raúl Castro, should free all political prisoners in Cuba without delay."@en1
