lpv:translated text	"I abstained from the vote on this report containing Parliament’s recommendations on the negotiations for an EU-Kazakhstan enhanced partnership and cooperation agreement. EU-Kazakhstan relations are based on a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement that entered into force in 1999 for a duration of 10 years. In 2008, Kazakhstan voiced a desire to sign a new agreement with the EU. The EU agreed to the Kazakh request, but on a less ambitious level (No free trade agreement until Kazakhstan is a member of the World Trade Organisation and no visa facilitation agreement). Parliament’s report makes astonishing reading; would that Parliament showed the same vigilance with regard to all of the countries with which the European Union has concluded partnerships. That is far from being the case, as the negotiations initiated with Tunisia under Ben Ali or with Libya under Gaddafi have shown. The agreement under discussion with Colombia could also be considered a relevant example. While I condemn the terrible situation in Kazakhstan, I chose to abstain from this vote as a mark of my continuing rejection of the European Union’s double standards."@en1
