"I voted in favour of a European Parliament recommendation to the Council on establishing visa bans for Russian officials that have been and continue to be involved in this case where human rights have been flagrantly violated. It is regrettable that although it is already three years since the EU raised the issue of this case with Russia within the framework of the human rights dialogue there has been no progress. As the human rights dialogue continues to be limited, I do not feel that there will be any more serious movement in this case. It is time to send Russia a strong signal so that it focuses on rampant injustice, corruption and the human rights situation. I therefore hope that the Council will listen to the European Parliament proposal and adopt appropriate decisions. It should be noted that a number of Member State parliaments have already contacted their countries’ governments with similar recommendations. I believe that the people included on the list should not be issued with either Schengen or national visas of the EU Member States."@en1
