"Question No 2 by Miguel Angel Martínez Martínez ():
Cuba's annual Book fair is a cultural and media event of great international prestige. This year the organisers planned that Germany should be 'guest of honour', but the German government, in line with the Common Position defined by the Council and its recent policy of cultural sanctions against Cuba, turned down the invitation. However, the number of writers and publishers from Germany and other EU countries attending has not been reduced.
Does the Council consider that the Common Position and the sanctions are beneficial, or merely detrimental to both Cuban and European culture? Did the Council not feel that its authority was being undermined, in view of the fact that the European businessmen and authors invited to the Book Fair ignored the Council's line and will take part? A number of them have said that the policy of cultural sanctions imposed on Cuba by the EU is 'absurd, unjust and contrary to our interests'."@en1
