lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the EU’s interest in Central Asia has been growing for some time. Kazakhstan is our most important partner in the region, from both a political and an economic point of view. Since the start of the negotiations on an Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, which I very much welcome, and following the regrettable events in the Zhanaozen district and in connection with the parliamentary elections, we have now focused particular attention on Kazakhstan. I expressly support a close and open dialogue with Kazakhstan in order to enhance our relations. It is crucial that we pay tribute to Kazakhstan’s positive development in the areas of democratisation, human rights and the rule of law, even if, from our Western point of view, these only represent small steps and we rightly expect more progress. I am very pleased to see the willingness of the Kazakh authorities to deal with the events in Zhanaozen. In a mutual exchange, including with non-governmental organisations and representatives of Kazakh civil society, we were able to build up a comprehensive picture. The constructive dialogue between governmental and non-governmental representatives around a table in this way with us parliamentarians in Parliament was groundbreaking. The resolution should support this positive development. From this point of view, I think a postponement would also have been sensible, in order to wait and see what the investigations bring to light and so that we would then have clearer conditions for our position, which we do not really have at the moment. That is the position of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), and I stand by that, too."@en1
