".
This resolution is one of a range of initiatives responding to the recent escalation in the campaign of interference and aggression conducted against Cuba by the USA over the last 40 years. The actions of the new US representative in Havana, James Cason, stand out within this process. They openly violate Cuban sovereignty through their support and funding of ‘members of the opposition’. Their aim is to destabilise Cuban institutions and even propitiate conditions which could act as a pretext for a military attack on Cuba.
The resolution does not say a single word about the terrorist acts and kidnappings which have been carried out as James Cason has continued with his exploits in Cuba. These represent a qualitative change in the process of intervention.
The resolution does not condemn the US blockade of Cuba because it is illegitimate, illegal under international law and has serious consequences for the economy and quality of life of the people of Cuba. Rather, it condemns the blockade because it ‘is not a constructive approach to promoting change or reform of the Cuban regime’. The measures adopted by the EU represent a supine acceptance of the Bush Administration’s policy. ‘Cooperation’ should not be used as a means of interference. On the contrary, the EU should adopt and develop a mutually advantageous cooperation policy, one which respects Cuban sovereignty and independence."@en1
