"Mr President, first please allow me to add my congratulations to the rapporteur Mariya Nedelcheva. I fully agree with the report and I would like to believe that all the report’s recommendations will be implemented promptly and completely. Of course, this should be done before the provincial and local elections, which have, for various reasons, been postponed from the original date of March 2012. In the autumn, I chaired a conference in the European Parliament on the elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Even then, the huge interest and hope for the December elections on the part of the citizens and organisations from the DRC and abroad was palpable, and the high turnout confirmed this interest. People want greater stability, security and prosperity of the country through stronger democracy and transparency and, in this respect, the EU and the Great Lakes region are playing a very important role for it is they who can contribute to the full and more rapid implementation of all the recommendations by means of their significant influence on the authorities and responsible leaders of the DRC. Since the elections in December 2011 were designated by international observers as unreliable and lacking in transparency, I believe that ratification of the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance should be the first necessary step."@en1
