lpv:translated text	"Mr President, let me begin by saying that Ukraine is European and has its place in Europe. The cooperation between the EU and Ukraine, such as the association agreement, for example, is also important to Ukraine and its European ambitions. In order to move closer to the EU and even one day to become part of it, other countries must have the same values as the EU. This applies to all countries which want a closer relationship with EU, including Ukraine, regardless of who is currently in power there. One of the first things that becomes noticeable when a country’s values differ from those of the EU is that human rights and the rule of law do not function properly. In the case of Ukraine, we in the European Parliament have been concerned for some time about both of these issues. Most importantly, we believe that Ukraine does not make a distinction between political trials and judicial trials. Criminal acts should be punished because they are against the law, but there must be no more political trials. If Ukraine is serious about moving closer to the EU, judicial trials must be transparent and comply with EU standards. Human rights must be respected and the media must be independent. Without these three things, there will be a more closed society in Ukraine and that is not the route which we want the country to take. The EU and the European Parliament have always been clear about what we expect from our partners. It is now up to the people of Ukraine to call for the necessary changes. We cannot deviate from our values, but we can help Ukraine to transform into a modern democracy and we are prepared to do that."@en1
