lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Mr Saryusz-Wolski has spoken with some passion and a lot of knowledge about the position in Ukraine, as have many colleagues in the foreign affairs debate. It falls to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs – where the decision was split – to take responsibility for Article 17, the legal migration and neighbourhood aspects of this Association Agreement, which are nevertheless very important aspects. We were very conscious of this and take very seriously our responsibility to have a vote in parallel with the Kiev Parliament. Although our responsibilities are less than those of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the seriousness with which our committee voted yesterday, swiftly, in a vote without debate – and I understand that many of our members were concerned about the lack of debate in committee – nevertheless shows they were acutely aware that this parallel symbolic vote, as Mr Saryusz-Wolski described it, was an extremely important signal to the people of Ukraine. I want to specifically say why that is. In the last parliamentary term I was also one of the rapporteurs responsible for neighbourhood policy. We have heard in the last debate on foreign affairs why neighbourhood policy must be consistent. Despite all the sufferings of the Ukrainian people that we have heard of, we need to be consistent in our neighbourhood policy. Neighbourhood policy is an extremely important indicator that we will maintain our undertakings to the Ukrainian people and we will not deviate from that. So the Civil Liberties Committee will maintain its policy and our vote yesterday, by some majority, was the signal of that. I do not want to take up the time of the plenary too much because we want that vote to coincide at 12.00, but I would just like to say that we will take our steps seriously under Article 17 and I will conclude my remarks there."@en1
