"Mr President, Kazakhstan is larger than Western Europe and represents a vital player in Central Asia and is an excellent model of Christian-Islamic coexistence in that country. Both its size and massive oil and mineral wealth ensure that it cannot be ignored by the EU, nor should it be, because it offers a bridge between Europe and Asia and the country has much to contribute to both continents.
Certainly it is perfectly able to retain links with Russia, by being part of the Eurasian Economic Committee and, at the same time, seek closer cooperation with the European Union. Such cooperation will bring tangible benefits to both sides, but it must come hand in hand with more democracy and better human rights for its people. We must also focus efforts on helping the Kazakh Government to develop its infrastructure in this vast country. If these goals can be met, the PCA, together with the eventual Kazakh accession to the WTO, will be a good idea and will more closely integrate Kazakhstan into European Union friendship internationally, together with its partners, and also into the multilateral organisations where Kazakhstan rightly belongs. It will also increase the chances of prosperity for its people. Therefore I support the report."@en1
