"The report by Liisa Jaakonsaari contains the European Parliament’s recommendations to the Council, the Commission and the European External Action Service on the negotiations for a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and Kazakhstan. Although Kazakhstan is the Central Asian country with the most open economy and the most extensive partnership with the European Union in that region, we cannot ignore, in our partnership agreements, scrupulous respect for human rights. If Kazakhstan wants to remain as one of the EU’s trading partners, it must make progress with the current internal reforms, with absolute respect for the freedom of association, assembly, expression and religion. I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution as I consider that the EU-Kazakhstan negotiations for a new partnership agreement must, without question, include respect for the EU’s values and a series of reforms to establish a democratic regime. Any violations of human rights must lead to the agreement being suspended. Given that Kazakhstan has applied to join the World Trade Organisation (WTO), with this application being supported by the EU, I share the view that the agreement currently being prepared can only be concluded after Kazakhstan becomes a WTO member."@en1
