"Mr President, the story of Yulia Tymoshenko is a sorry one and it is right that we should be discussing it here this morning. I hope our discussions will bear fruit. I had the pleasure of listening to Ms Tymoshenko in Bonn a little over a year ago at an EPP meeting, and she was a very impressive lady and had lots of plans to democratise and improve her country’s situation. That she is now languishing in prison is something which is not acceptable, and while she may have issues to address, they should be done so in accordance with the normal judicial norms and that is what we should work towards. It is not acceptable that she is being treated as she is as of now. As regards a boycott of the Championships, I do not like mixing sport and politics, and while we may discuss it, I would hope that it will not come to that. It should be an option of last resort but, hopefully, our discussions might lead to some resolution prior to that."@en1
