"In its motion for a resolution on Kazakhstan, the European Union emphasises the need to strengthen political and economic cooperation, including in the fields of democracy, human rights, the environment, energy, transport and trade, and also in combating terrorism, organised crime and drug trafficking. The human rights situation in Kazakhstan has long been deteriorating, and has recently become particularly serious. Here I refer not only to the tragic events that took place in the Zhanaozen district, but also to the arrest and imprisonment of opposition leaders and journalists. Therefore it is important that the European Union should from now on very attentively monitor developments in these areas, and the next steps in partnership and cooperation negotiations with Kazakhstan should be dependent on the progress of political reforms. Since the European Parliament report strongly emphasises these principles, I also supported this report in the final vote."@en1
