". – the Commission remains deeply concerned about the current crisis in Venezuela and has emphasised the need for a democratic and peaceful solution through dialogue and with due respect for the constitution of Venezuela, human rights and democratic values.
The EU fully supports the OAS, together with the UNDP and the Carter Centre in the tripartite working group, in their efforts to facilitate a national dialogue between the government and the opposition.
The Commission has welcomed the creation of the Group of Friends of Venezuela (Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and the US) and hopes that it will contribute to the OAS efforts to find a solution to the current crisis.
The Commission considers that former US President Carter's proposal – suggesting, alternatively, a constitutional amendment that would lead to early elections or revocatory referendum on President Chávez's rule on 19 August – is a good basis for the negotiations between both parties.
The Commission has approved a project to assist the OAS in its efforts to implement possible agreements reached between the parties of the OAS mediated dialogue. In addition to facilitating the ongoing dialogue, it has three main components: support for free and fair elections; investigation of the events of April 2002; and disarming the civilian population. The three components are included in the agenda of the 'Negotiating Table'.
In addition, the Commission hopes that the freedom of expression of the media, used in a responsible way, could help overcome the current climate of verbal confrontation in Venezuela."@en1
