lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the consolidation of democracy, human rights and the rule of law is particularly important in our neighbourhood – taken from Article 8 of the Treaty on European Union – and Ukraine is a neighbouring country to Europe, with which we have concluded negotiations on an association agreement, and one which has what we call ‘European prospects’. For that reason, therefore, there needs to be a strong demand for human rights. I am worried about the lack of political will from the Ukrainian authorities on this matter. This is emphasised with the case of Ms Yulia Tymoshenko and also other opposition leaders, victims of selective justice and a penal code from the Soviet era, as previously mentioned. It appears that their ambiguity means that there is almost no difference between political and penal responsibility. A democratic system cannot function in this manner. Fundamental rights need to be protected, and opposition politics logically have to be respected. In addition, I think it would be very convenient if the European Union could reach a unanimous view on the level and manner in which high-ranking politicians are going to attend the European Football Championships that are to be played in Ukraine next month. And, lastly, ladies and gentlemen, I was somewhat surprised to read that the President of this House entertained the Prime Minister of Ukraine last week. Given that neither the Council nor the Commission went to such lengths, I wonder whether our coordination within the institutions of the Union is appropriate, and I would like Mr Füle, the Commissioner, to tell me if this coordination exists."@en1
