lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, both during the meeting we had with Yulia Tymoshenko and the one we had in prison with Yuri Lutsenko, we talked most about Ukraine’s route to Europe. This is the real aspiration of the people of Ukraine. I would like to ask if it is true that all of us in the Chamber today are able to say that if Ukraine changes, we will support its journey into Europe? Did we all support Ms Tymoshenko’s government on this? Each of us ought to think about how we voted three years ago. Are we really being sincere about this? Two questions are important at the moment. Firstly, we need to show this prospect to Ukraine, not to this or that government, but to the citizens of Ukraine, as Ms Harms has said. We need to show them this possibility, and then demand change. This change must be very specific, it must concern those who today have been unjustly sentenced, and it must concern reforms to the judicial system and of local government. This is a very important matter, something to which Prime Minister Azarov has also committed himself. It will place authority and decisions back in the hands of all Ukrainians – people who are watching us today. Secondly, and this is very important: I would like to express heartfelt thanks to Mr Schulz for this initiative, and to Commissioner Füle for his real efforts to resolve the situation in Ukraine. Help is still needed from you both in another matter. Mr Schulz, I would like to ask you to ensure that the delegation of observers is a big one. Commissioner Füle, perhaps it will be possible to find additional funds so that some of the citizens of the European Union can go and support the elections – they can be given training and go as observers. Let us have a repeat of what happened in 2004. This is the real expectation of all parties and political groups in Ukraine. Let us all go there as neighbours and with the proper preparation – and not just politicians, but also non-governmental organisations. This will be a real expression of neighbourly goodwill. Let us say clearly today that if Ukraine changes, we will have the courage to say: yes, you do have the prospect of European Union membership. Let us say boldly at this point that as neighbours, we can do something specific today – we can go and observe the elections."@en1
