lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think we agree in this House that Ukraine is a country of strategic importance for us – its size, its geographical location, its educated people – so for all these and other reasons, an association agreement has been concluded and initiated. I think we would like to see those who signed this agreement implement this agreement. However, there is a problem. It is not only Yulia Tymoshenko and Mr Lutsenko but, as has already been mentioned, we have to deal with serious deficiencies in Ukraine’s legal system. Partnership between the EU and Ukraine should be based on the observation of human rights, the rule of law and, of course, the functioning of the entire legal system. Our Ukrainian partners attempted to make certain reforms. Here, I would like to mention the Criminal Procedure Code which has been adopted. Moreover, the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe participated in the preparation of this Criminal Procedure Code – but we have to go further. The entire legal system of Ukraine has to be reformed. Again, I would like to welcome the decision to establish a constitutional assembly which, again, will carry out its work with the experts from the Venice Commission and, I hope, also with the opposition in Ukraine and with civil society. How to deal with Yulia Tymoshenko’s case? Now the case will go before Ukraine’s High Specialised Court. Last week, we heard a statement by President Azarov, who invited us to send international legal experts. I think that is a first step towards dealing with this issue in such a way that the release of Yulia Tymoshenko is in accordance with both international law and Ukrainian law. The case, of course, will perhaps go to this city, to Strasbourg, to the European Court of Human Rights. The Ukrainian side promised – and I think we should insist on that – that the verdict and, of course, the implementation of the Court’s judgment will be fully respected."@en1
