"Madam President, last year, the European Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries voted against the renewal of the fisheries partnership agreements with Guinea on account of a massacre that had taken place in the capital Conakry. This autumn and in August, we have been preparing for an election in Guinea. It is the first real democratic election since 1958. The EU has, fortunately, sent election observers, and one of our fellow Members is there now and is leading one of the operations that intend to follow the election and check that it is carried out in a democratic manner.
This part of the world needs the EU’s support. In the neighbouring country of Guinea-Bissau, we have been able to observe trading in drugs and other items, the final destination of which de facto is Europe, with the drugs originating from Latin America. The election in Guinea has proven to be so troublesome that the second round has had to be postponed until 19 September on account of widespread election fraud. It is important for us here in Parliament to take note of this and to focus our efforts on supporting the situation in West Africa."@en1
