lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because parliamentary cooperation, within the framework of the European Union’s Eastern Partnership and bilateral programmes, is a key element in developing advanced political cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan plays a positive role in the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy and contributes to the solution of the EU’s energy security problems. It is therefore important to ensure that the association agreement is a comprehensive and forward-looking framework for the future development of relations with Azerbaijan, one which enhances political association, economic convergence and legal approximation and strengthens the relationship that both the European Union and Azerbaijan have decided to develop. It is crucial to incorporate in the association agreement clauses and benchmarks on the protection and promotion of human rights, especially with regard to freedom of the media and the right to freedom of expression, association and assembly, which reflect the principles and rights enshrined in the constitution of Azerbaijan and the highest international and European standards. It is especially important to build and develop a strong youth sector and welcome in this regard the various state programmes offering scholarships for studying abroad. Furthermore, the necessary action should be taken to incorporate in the association agreement provisions enabling Azerbaijan to participate in Community programmes and agencies, as a tool for promoting European integration at all levels."@en1
