"Madam President, the conviction of the former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has caused disappointment to general public opinion. The sentence was handed down in a trial that raised huge concerns as to its compliance with international standards of fair, transparent and, above all, independent court proceedings. In my view, it is justice with a strong political colouring, a regrettable fact.
With a view to promoting the broadest cooperation between the EU’s Member States, including Poland, and Ukraine, and being an indefatigable supporter of Ukraine’s aspirations for integration, I call upon the authorities in Kiev to ensure that the accused and convicted former members of the government have access to a fair appeal procedure. I hope that President Viktor Yanukovych will do his best to prevent the deterioration of current relations with Brussels. At the same time I appeal to the Polish Presidency, active in the field of the Eastern Partnership, to get involved, so that the present situation can have a positive outcome. This is especially important in view of the fact that negotiations on the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement are about to be concluded."@en1
