"Mr President, the ECR abstained on this motion. The part that Kazakhstan plays in the development of the political stability of Central Asia cannot be underestimated.
Kazakhstan and the EU already have a good relationship but cooperation should be strengthened, particularly in the areas of dialogue on democracy, human rights and trade as well as fighting terrorism, organised crime and drug trafficking.
We welcome the release of Evgeniy Zhovtis and fully support the calls for the Kazakh authorities to make every effort to improve the human rights situation in their country and investigate fully the December police shootings against oil workers and improve their respect for the freedom of assembly and expression of religion in line with OSC recommendations.
We await the FBI-led investigation on the police shootings in December so as a group we felt that the motion was actually too biased against the government and, until all the facts are known, we have abstained. It is rather bizarre that actually we have the same position as the GUE/NGL Group but for completely different reasons."@en1
