"Mr President, I have until now sincerely supported all the UN resolutions demanding that the economic sanctions introduced by the United States against Cuba should be lifted. I have looked forward to its being possible for Cuba to become the 78th member of the ACP group, have been delighted about the political dialogue with the EU and hoped for a rapid Cuban accession to the Cotonou Agreement. I therefore deeply regret the fact that I must on this occasion most vigorously condemn Cuba, and I would call upon that country immediately to release all the detainees. At the same time, I would also call upon the EU to decide at its June summit to postpone any signature of the Cotonou Agreement with Cuba until these people have been released. The EU would be sending out a very poor signal if we were to sign an agreement with a country that, at the same time, is infringing its people’s fundamental human rights. The EU should, moreover, also take steps, on precisely the same grounds, to suspend the trade agreements with Israel."@en1
