lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, once again, we are discussing the Democratic Republic of Congo in this House. Despite the fact that we are doing so due to the recently held elections there, we must condemn the fresh period of violence that followed the elections and the barbaric violence that continues in many areas. The violence and human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of Congo must be strongly condemned by the European Union. This violence, the victims of which are always the most vulnerable – women and children – should incite anger in us. Therefore, Baroness, I ask for the fight against impunity to be one of the priorities in our cooperation with the Democratic Republic of Congo. This fight requires major reforms in the country’s justice system, in the training of judges and in victim support, as well as initiatives aimed at a national reconciliation strategy. I would also like to mention the need for disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration programmes for former fighters to be kept up, as otherwise we shall not be dealing with many of the deep-rooted causes of the violence. As you said, the final report of the EU Electoral Observation Mission contains a good number of valuable contributions that will promote transparency and the consolidation of democracy in the country. I would like to draw your attention, Baroness Ashton, to the fact that the Independent National Electoral Commission, which has been harshly criticised, received financial support from the European Union. For this reason, I ask that efforts be redoubled in order to prevent sectors and programmes that receive EU support from being able to act at their own discretion. I will conclude by stressing the synergetic relationship that exists between development, the protection of human rights and the consolidation of peace and security. The Democratic Republic of Congo is no exception to this. We must continue to work on all three fronts if we want to make progress in that country."@en1
