"During the current parliamentary term, Parliament has adopted a number of resolutions condemning the current regime in Belarus due to constant violations of human rights and attacks on the rule of law. These are unquestionable values throughout the EU and a commitment to safeguard them must underlie the signing of any treaty or cooperation agreement between the EU and third countries. Although Belarus is geographically close to EU territory, politically, it is far removed; not even the December 2010 presidential elections could accelerate the country’s democratisation process. Abolition of the death penalty is therefore urgent, as is the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners detained in inhumane conditions and subjected to torture. Despite agreeing that the EU should maintain good neighbourly relations with Belarus, I voted for this joint motion for a resolution, pursuant to Rule 110(4) of the Rules of Procedure, since previous resolutions have not achieved the desired effect and it is imperative that the Minsk government make progress towards the democratisation of the country with complete compliance with human rights and the rule of law."@en1
