lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this very good report shows Turkey is making progress towards Europe, but more is needed. For instance, 19 people are being prosecuted for insulting state officials because they attended a conference at which victims who had suffered torture in the form of rape in custody spoke out against their tormenters. It is not only women to whom this happens. It is clearly outrageous that the state should condemn the victims, rather than their aggressors. I call on the Turkish authorities to drop these shameful prosecutions. Secondly, I want to urge the Turkish government to take an initiative towards a political settlement with the Kurds. The PKK have observed the cease-fire for over two years. Its leader, Abdullah Ocalan, is appealing to the European Court of Human Rights against the unfairness of his trial. It is time to launch peace negotiations. Finally, now is not the time to eject 80 000 Kurds, breach environmental standards and human rights, in order to construct the Ilisu dam. It must not be built and EU governments, such as the UK government, must not grant export credit."@en1
