lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on 18 May I travelled to Cuba with Mr Protasiewicz. The European Union suspended diplomatic sanctions against the Havana regime a few months ago, so that consideration could be given to the future shape of relations between Havana and Brussels. Several weeks ago, my colleagues from the Socialist Group in the European Parliament visited the country. Mr Protasiewicz and I decided to visit Cuba together in order to take part in a meeting of the Cuban opposition on 20 May. Unfortunately, we did not succeed in doing so. We were deported before leaving the airport, because our names were on the Castro regime’s blacklist. We were not allowed to cross the border, and were instead flown to Mexico, and from there to Europe. I would ask the President of the European Parliament to lodge a protest with the Cuban authorities and to demand an explanation. I would also ask him to include a debate on the situation in Cuba and relations with the Castro regime on the agenda for the next Strasbourg session. Our relations with this regime must be based on respect for human rights and demands for the release of political prisoners in Cuba."@en1
