"Mr President, I must say that I am very disappointed that we are basing the negotiations and relationships we have with Ukraine around the person of Yulia Tymoshenko. I am disappointed because when we talk about the situation in Ukraine, we should be talking about it in all contexts, not associating it with one person. What is more, until recently, this person was the country’s prime minister and she had the opportunity to take all the measures for which we are now reproaching the current Ukrainian Government. This is not to say that in Ukraine, all is well and that Ukraine cannot cope with the substantive criticism. This criticism should, in any case, be substantive and universal, and should focus on measures that are to the benefit of all citizens and not only in favour of the imprisoned prime minister. Finally, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to add one more thing. I very much hope that Ukraine will take steps towards the creation of the best possible relations with the European Union. In fact, though, it would be inappropriate for us to criticise the fact that their prime minister has been indicted and will subsequently be tried for her poor management of state assets, because if similar measures were in place in our Member States, our citizens would welcome it if our politicians were convicted for similar handling of state assets."@en1
