lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as is well known, Belarus is to become the EU’s new neighbour, and it is therefore incredibly important that we should begin to concern ourselves with what is happening there and to take the country seriously. That is why it is also an important report that my fellow group member has written, making it apparent to anyone who still needed to be informed, how critical and difficult the situation is and how much is awry in terms of human rights, democracy and so on. I wish to thank Mr Marset Campos very much for an incredibly good report on a very important topic. Now, the fact is that my group is confederal in nature, and we do not therefore praise each other as a matter of course, but I am nonetheless able to say, on behalf of the Nordic Green Left, that we fully support what Mr Marset Campos has written in his report. Our confederal nature also means that the group has come up with amendments with which we do not agree and, like the rapporteur, I do not support these. It is apparent from this report that many things are required if, as I hope it one day will, Belarus is ever to reach the point at which it can become a member of the EU. First and foremost, democratic developments are required, and I think that, if it wishes to do so, the EU can play a decisive role in this area. As good democrats, it should be our task to support those activities, inside and outside Belarus, that are aimed at changing how things stand for ordinary people and for the democratic movements. The Church has been mentioned, but I am also thinking of the trade unions and a number of journalists who really are doing a sterling job in moving the country in the right direction."@en1
