lpv:translated text	". The report contains some aspects that I believe to be fair and others with which I disagree, particularly those underlying its main thesis. The rapporteur is right to condemn the Turkish authorities’ failure to respect trade union freedom and to criticise the progress of the trial of Leyla Zana and other Turkish MPs of Kurdish origin. We must call for prisoners of conscience to be released and condemn political persecution and the ban on the activity of some political parties. We must condemn the ongoing torture, mistreatment and persecution faced by human rights’ activists and organisations. We must reaffirm the cultural rights of the Kurdish people and a ‘just, viable and functional settlement of the Cyprus problem’, in line with the UN resolutions. In order to be consistent, however, and to demonstrate solidarity with the Turkish people, I must criticise some aspects of the report, such as accepting ‘the primacy of EU law over national law’, the need to approve the so-called ‘European Constitution’, using Turkey as a Nato ally, to ‘significantly’ increase the EU’s influence in the region, and even the view that Turkey should ‘put up or shut up’ in negotiations, without the EU making any concessions on imposing its neolioberal economic policies. An example of this is the opinion of Parliament’s Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy."@en1
