"Madam President, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament is in favour of development partnerships with countries in Eastern Europe. Such partnerships will promote democratic institutions, improve energy security and support social and economic reform.
The European Union’s objective is to achieve political and social reforms in Belarus, so that there can be real democratisation in the country. In addition to adhering to the EU’s harsh line towards the current regime concerning the exclusion of the opposition and civil society from the political scene, the Union is trying to involve the whole of Belarus society in efforts to implement the vision of creating a truly European country.
At the same time, a clear political objective needs to be set for the Union’s involvement in Belarus, within the framework of a more coordinated and careful approach, especially now that the country faces a serious democratic deficit. The disregard for democratic values and the rule of law, human rights abuses and the imprisonment of opposition politicians, which are a fact of life in this country, are deplorable and need special treatment on the part of the Union."@en1
