lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I believe that this debate again has proven that, on issues of human rights and democracy, Parliament is a lighthouse. The Commission, too, will never tolerate the violation of human rights and democracy. So that means that it will stay a cornerstone of our policy, not only because of its strength, but we also believe that if you have strong views, you should make them known. As you know also, our basis for our work with Cuba will lie in continuing the Common Position from 1996. This provides the basis and it is very clear that there should be some basic changes in human rights in Cuba. At the same time, constructive dialogues that started in 2008 are also giving positive signs. I would not say that we have achieved major breakthroughs, but on a lot of issues, there has been progress. I believe this is the way we need to continue. And we should also continue meeting civil society. The Commission will follow the Council conclusion that says that, when appropriate, meetings with the democratic opposition will form part of high level visits and we will seek them actively."@en1
