". – Mr President, may I assure Members present this afternoon that I will certainly apprise my colleague, Mr Nielson, of the sentiments which have been expressed by the vast majority of this Parliament. I will tell him that Parliament takes a very serious view of what is happening in Cuba. However, may I repeat, my colleague, and the Commission as a whole, shares those views.
The main point at issue at the moment appears to be the matter of the participation of Cuba in the Cotonou Agreement. Mr van den Bos referred to that possibility and asked whether its participation in the Cotonou Agreement would be possible should serious infringements of human rights in Cuba continue. As far as the Commission is concerned, it would be difficult to square participation in the Cotonou Agreement with a continuation of the present situation in Cuba. Therefore, I agree with Mr van den Bos that those two situations are difficult to reconcile. However, once again, I should like to be allowed sufficient time to hold further discussions with my colleague, Mr Nielson, in order to give a more definite reply."@en1
