"I abstained on these two resolutions objecting to an EU guarantee on European Investment Bank loans to Belarus. The resolutions raised concerns over human rights abuses in Belarus, and I certainly share these concerns.
However, I supported an alternative resolution that does not object to the guarantee of loans on the grounds that Belarus has taken steps to improve the situation, in particular by the release of all political prisoners in August last year, which is an important first step. (This alternative resolution was not voted on).
If this improvement in the human rights situation does not continue then I believe the European institutions should reassess the loans guarantee."@en1
