lpv:translated text	". I voted for this resolution because, despite some improvements on the electoral law, according to the international election observation mission of the OSCE/ODIHR, in these parliamentary elections the citizens’ rights to associate, stand as candidates, and express themselves freely were not respected. The Belarusian authorities ignored the numerous calls of the international community, and a large number of democratic opposition candidates were denied registration on the grounds of minor inaccuracies or through the invalidation of ballot-access signatures. With this resolution we ask the Belarusian authorities to upgrade the electoral legislation and conduct new free and fair parliamentary elections in line with international standards. In addition, we call on the Council and the Commission to support initiatives aimed at developing Belarusian civil society, which could result in increasing citizens’ political participation, and raise awareness of the need for change. I believe that any attempt to empower Belarusian citizens is a vital milestone and the most effective way towards democracy and rule of law in Belarus."@en1
