"Mr President, let me wish the President-in-Office, Mr Cristofias, insight in fulfilling the priorities of the Cyprus Presidency, which include enhancing relations with the neighbours of the European Union. I hope that the close ties between Cyprus and Russia will not become an obstacle to addressing the deterioration of human rights and the rule of law just across the border from the European Union.
As a rapporteur on the proposal for a recommendation to the Council on establishing common visa restrictions for Russian officials involved in the Sergei Magnitsky case, I would like to call on the Cyprus Presidency to take our recommendation aboard and engage in combating corruption and impunity in Russia. Good neighbourly relations should not be based on discreet and submissive silence when witnessing such serious breaches of domestic and international law.
You have the opportunity of engaging in frank and constructive dialogue with the Kremlin and emphasise the paramount importance of human rights and the rule of law in relations with the European Union."@en1
