lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, since our previous debate on the DRC last November, I am pleased that there has been some progress in reaching a settlement for fresh elections and the standing—down of President Kabila. The deal reached at the end of December was a breakthrough, and we must praise the work of the Conference of Catholic Bishops in Congo for mediating the talks. There is, however, concern about the pace of progress towards elections. Recent reports of the escape of M23 rebel fighters from Uganda and their crossing into the DRC should also be a cause for alarm, with a risk of a return to fighting in the North Kivu province, which could potentially be exploited by Kabila as grounds for prolonging his DRC presidency. Similarly, in Gabon we see huge violations of human rights and violence since the flawed presidential elections last August, so justice and reforms are absolutely essential in that country. Of course, the EU must maintain pressure on the Gabonese authorities to prevent a climate of impunity."@en1
