"I abstained from voting on the resolution on negotiations for a more comprehensive EU-Kazakhstan partnership and cooperation agreement because it is my belief that the Kazakh regime will see this resolution as a moral and political compromise on the part of the EU. That will not in any way oblige it to respect human rights and stop persecuting the regime’s critics and dissidents, but will merely allow human rights to be flouted more subtly and be interpreted as difficulties in its ‘period of transition to democracy’. This resolution is ill-timed, it sends the completely wrong signal to Kazakhstan and it is a mistake on the part of the EP. I therefore abstained and would have welcomed postponing the adoption of this document."@en1
