lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the USA’s trade embargo has been in place for almost 50 years. The embargo has brought poverty and oppression to the people of Cuba, as many different speakers have highlighted. Many people will be familiar with the report produced by Human Rights Watch in November 2009 entitled ‘New Castro, Same Cuba’ which proposed that the embargo should be lifted and that Cuba’s dictators should have six months in which to release political prisoners. If they were unable to do this, then a more intelligent embargo should be introduced. This would be of the type which has been used on occasions recently and which involves freezing assets and foreign investment and putting in place a ban on travel. The major democratic states and the EU should, of course, support this. It would be interesting to know what the President-in-Office of the Council thinks of this proposal from Human Rights Watch."@en1
