"I voted resolutely against this report on the subscription by the European Union to additional shares in the capital of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The EBRD, which coordinates development projects in around 30 countries in Eastern Europe and Asia, has, in fact, launched 44 projects in Turkey, too. In view of the threats, including military threats, that the Turkish Government has recently made against the EU and its Member States, and given that that same government is responsible for daily attacks on democracy, on the rights of religious minorities and on the freedom of expression, there is no way I can support the initiative in question. Similarly, the EBRD coordinates projects in countries such as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the government of which is not only responsible for attacks on the freedom of expression, but is also a key player in cases of corruption and clientelism, as well as a promoter of unacceptable historical falsehoods. I therefore voted against the report."@en1
