"Madam President, I am pleased to congratulate the rapporteurs on their detailed review of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the valuable proposals provided. The Arab Spring has shown that, in the age of the Internet, regimes that appear tough are collapsing like a house of cards. Many colleagues have mentioned the report’s successful proposition of ‘more for more and less for less’. I believe that this principle is important in relation to the Belarusian regime. The European Union is rightly toughening sanctions against managers and the companies they control, but sanctions and trade restrictions should not have a detrimental effect on the already difficult lives of ordinary citizens in Belarus, where there has been raging hyperinflation. It is regrettable that the Belarusian authorities have not responded to the Brussels initiative to ease the visa regime, particularly because, as proposed in the report, we need to move more swiftly towards a visa waiver with those eastern countries that meet the requirements set."@en1
