"Madam President, the future of EU-Ukraine relations is at stake at this moment. The sentencing of former Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, must be condemned. Her trial is politically motivated and did not meet even minimal European standards. Ukraine’s European aspirations require that it practise European values of democracy and the rule of law. That is not currently what is happening there. If the Ukraine Government continues on its path of sabotaging political opposition and abusing power, it will put the country’s economic and European prospects at risk. Yulia Tymoshenko should be acquitted and released, and should enjoy full political and civic rights as of now. The verdict, if it is not annulled, will have consequences for the implementation of the EU-Ukraine stabilisation and association agreement. Nevertheless, negotiations on the stabilisation and association agreement should be completed and the document should be initialled as planned under the Polish Presidency in December. Subsequently, its signature and ratification could be declined if no changes take place in Ukraine. Ukraine will thus be made aware of what it might lose. More importantly, however, the Union will, at the same time, be sending a positive signal to Ukraine as a nation and to its people who have legitimate European aspirations."@en1
