lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Piebalgs, thank you very much for your very long, comprehensive and truthful policy statement on cooperation with Belarus. The fact is that our relations with Belarus – with our neighbour – and the domestic situation in Belarus are often discussed in this Chamber, and recently even very often. It was only in February that we discussed or we appealed for a moratorium on the use of capital punishment in Belarus. Today, however, we are talking about the response of the Union to the diplomatic war declared on Europe two weeks ago by the authorities in Minsk. The effect of this war may be an intensification of the country’s self-imposed isolation. I hope this prospect does not amuse anyone at all – not even anyone in Belarus, not even the undemocratically elected authorities – because the only consequence of greater isolation would be to advance the process by which Belarus is losing its independence. Despite the irrational decision to ask the Ambassador of Poland and the EU Head of Delegation to leave Minsk, it is still possible to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. There is still time for Belarus to resume elementary relations with the Western world, but, of course, this would need the release of political prisoners, an end to the repression of opposition activists, independent journalists and human rights defenders, and preparations for parliamentary elections to be held in accordance with elementary, minimum European principles. In short, it is time for change, and this is an appeal to Minsk, before it is too late."@en1
