". This report contains a great deal of hypocrisy and a number of untruths. There is no shortage of examples, such as the way in which the report omits the persecution suffered by the Kurds and the Turks and the breaches of the fundamental rights of the people of Western Sahara, and the way in which it refers to Venezuela and Cuba. I should particularly like to highlight Venezuela and Cuba, in light of my recent experience in these countries. I went to Venezuela on two occasions last year, and was there at the time of the recall referendum, won by a landslide by President Chávez. It was clear to me that the Venezuelan Government had had difficulty in gaining access to the media, in particular to the various private, opposition-controlled television stations; indeed, the European Parliament delegation was a victim of this. Point 84 of this report is unacceptable, given that it is, in fact, the Venezuelan Government that is seeking cooperation with its neighbouring states. I also visited Cuba recently, along with a delegation of Members of three different political groups in Parliament. It is appalling that point 78 of this report does not contain one word about the US blockade of Cuba and that it singles out this country for special treatment and overlooks all of the consequences of the permanent US blockade."@en1
