"The resolution continues an on-going and productive dialogue with the government in Minsk and is indicative of the concerns of the European Parliament and the citizens it represents about the situation on human rights and about developments in Belarus in general.
The Belarusian authorities have made some progress, which is commendable, but we hope that they will initiate a process of democratisation and not simply make some temporary cosmetic gesture. This resolution is sufficiently firm, but also finely nuanced so that it expresses our satisfaction on the first issue as well as our concern about the second.
Current events in the region highlight once again the importance of transparency in the business of government and of the democratic responsibility of governments to the citizens they represent. The democratic values which have been adopted are linked to stability and development for both societies and markets, including the energy markets. This resolution is a step forward in reaffirming these values."@en1
