"In my opinion, the EU must demand the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners before any progress can be made in talks between the EU and Belarus. Belarus must continue on the path to democracy, human rights and the rule of law. In this context, I believe that the national ice hockey federations of the EU Member States and all other democratic countries should urge the International Ice Hockey Federation at its next Congress in May in Helsinki, Finland, to reconsider its earlier decision, with the possible aim of relocating the 2014 World Ice Hockey Championship from Belarus to another host country until all political prisoners recognised by international human rights organisations as prisoners of conscience are released, and until the regime shows clear signs of a commitment to respect human rights and the rule of law. The Council should also take stock of the latest developments in EU-Belarus diplomatic relations and of the further deterioration in the situation regarding human rights and basic freedoms in the country and, on this basis, adopt an appropriate decision regarding further restrictive measures, including targeted economic sanctions."@en1
