lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union’s policy to date in relation to the Lukashenko regime has been completely spineless. The European Commission does not have an adequate action plan to foster the development of democracy in practice. Occasionally it seems that, as far as the Commission is concerned, Belarus does not exist – it simply is not there. The coordination of action and information between European Union institutions, the Council of Europe and the United Nations is totally inadequate. The democratic forces in Belarus are currently totally fragmented. I would like to call on the Commission to draft an action plan to bring the forces of democracy together. Similarly, the Commission must continue to demand the immediate release of Mihail Marinich, the opposition leader who was convicted on political grounds. In relation to setting up an independent broadcasting station for Belarus, I would like to draw attention to two matters. Firstly, I would like to express my extreme disappointment at the fact that, because of the conditions of the competition that has been announced, the broadcasting organisations of the Baltic States and Poland cannot in practice participate. They cannot even take part in a consortium. However, it is precisely these neighbours of Belarus who have the greatest expertise regarding the processes taking place in that country. Secondly, broadcasts must be primarily in Belarussian, as Mr Posselt has already mentioned, so that the population can perceive them as their own. The fact that many people in Belarus know Russian better, and do not know Belarussian, is a direct consequence of Russification. That is a process we should not encourage."@en1
