"Mr President, in my capacity as Chair of the European Parliament delegation for relations with Belarus, I know how important it is that the European Commission and the Union in general possess an instrument for the financial support of non-governmental organisations working for democracy and human rights in conditions dictated by authoritarian regimes. As an example, I would like to highlight the sad story of Ales Bialatski, who has just been sentenced in Belarus to four and a half years’ hard labour because he was receiving foreign aid. This shows too that these instruments should be as flexible as possible, to make it easier for these people to use the funds we allocate to their support and also to protect them from repression.
I am pleased that the negotiations which have been undertaken have led to adoption of the current legislation. I am pleased that in comparison to earlier measures it is somewhat more flexible, but am hoping that future measures will enable still more effective support to be given to organisations working for democracy and human rights in countries such as Belarus."@en1
