"Mr President, the new Ukrainian authorities are new only in name. A regression towards authoritarian practices is sweeping the country. The legal framework for the forthcoming local elections has been altered and could jeopardise the participation of the opposition parties. The Constitution has been changed, and a de facto presidential regime is back in place. The media and civil society are under constant pressure, and the Ukrainian secret service seems to be reliving its Soviet days.
It is time for us to clearly express our concern through a resolution. The Ukrainian authorities should get the message that closer ties with the EU cannot be guaranteed by friendly declarations alone. An undemocratic Ukrainian Government cannot be a reliable partner for the EU, especially in the strategically sensitive area of the Black Sea."@en1
