lpv:translated text	"For a long time the countries of Central Asia have been viewed as failed states, as leftovers from the break-up of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), without any particular strategic interest. I believe that view to be entirely wrong and consider that, in terms of cooperation, security and defence, and also access to energy sources and raw materials, these States are now very important to the European Union. The country in question, Kazakhstan, has a long, rich and varied history, and has proven on numerous occasions that it is keen to move closer to the European Union and develop a stable partnership with us. I welcome this keenness and hope that Kazakhstan can effectively develop its convergence with the EU, particularly on issues connected with democracy and human rights – which is why I hope that Kazakhstan will take concrete steps to prove this commitment – and that the negotiations now considered by Parliament will be mutually beneficial to the parties and their populations."@en1
