lpv:translated text	". The MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the report on Belarus because it represents monumental intervention by the ΕU in the internal affairs of an independent country. The problem for the EU is not one of democracy; it is the fact that Belarus insists on respect for international law, territorial integrity and national sovereignty and is against selling out to the multinationals. The report – and this is pure blackmail – makes future relations with Belarus dependent on its immediate transition to a market economy and even calls for cooperation with the USA in a bid to make its intervention – which nowadays can mean anything and everything, including military intervention – more effective. There is a problem in Belarus with respect for human rights and democratic freedoms. However, this is a matter for its own people and does not warrant foreign intervention. The supposed democratic freedoms which international imperialist organisations and this report are endeavouring to blackmail Belarus into accepting are freedom of action for big business and the freedom to wipe out any achievements left over from the socialist regime. All this is illustrated by the fact that the amendment proposed by the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece, calling on the ΕU to cooperate directly with Belarus in combating trafficking in human beings, was rejected in favour of an amendment requiring Belarus to toe the EU line."@en1
