lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I voted in favour of the resolution because the Belarusians here today demonstrate the level of their engagement with the European Union. Despite a lot of talking on the Belarusian side, only modest changes have so far taken place. Most recently, we have heard from the opposition that the President intends to sign a decree limiting access to free information on the Internet. The EU certainly needs to support Belarus to draw it closer to Europe, but first of all, we need to engage with the Belarusian people. It seems that now we are trying to engage with the Belarusian authorities by suspending the travel bans, but the travel bans are still there for the ordinary people of Belarus. EUR 60 for the Schengen visa is too expensive for the majority of Belarusians. At the same time, the price for Russian citizens is half as much. The EU would not suffer if the citizens of Belarus covered only the cost of the visa, which is not more than EUR 5."@en1
