".
The Commission deeply regrets the death of Ms Sánchez in Equatorial Guinea. The young soldier responsible was acting against the orders of his superior and is now in prison, pending trial for murder.
In this case, the authorities acted rapidly and correctly, so the Commission would not consider it a reason to impose sanctions. I would remind you that cooperation with Equatorial Guinea under the 8th EDF programme is conditional on the promotion of human rights, and the 9th EDF programme has not yet been signed.
As regards the evolution of the human rights situation in Equatorial Guinea, following its visit in July 2003, the Commission reported some small improvements, such as the President’s invitation to the opposition parties to join the government, an improvement in prison conditions, a reduction in the number of military barricades found along the main roads and a slightly freer press.
Lately we have seen some positive signs with the release of 18 political prisoners on 18 August 2003."@en1
