"This joint motion for a resolution on the current situation in Ukraine was tabled following a declaration by the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy pursuant to Rule 110(2) of the Rules of Procedure. The violation of human rights in this country has been condemned in previous resolutions by this House. Although Ukraine has applied for EU membership, there have been allegations of serious violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, especially in terms of a lack of respect for minorities, the curtailing of freedom and persecution of opponents of the current regime, as in the case of Yulia Tymoshenko, who has been sentenced in a politicised trial lacking all transparency, which has sparked much international criticism. While I believe the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine should be signed in December 2011, I voted for this joint motion for a resolution, as I believe the EU’s increasing closeness to Ukraine will help the country’s government to realise that it has to respect democratic life and stop persecuting its opponents."@en1
