lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to speak about Oswaldo Paya. As you know, he was awarded the Sakharov Prize in 2002 and, as recently as last year, was prevented four times by Fidel Castro’s regime from coming here to take part in a debate with us on the terrible human rights situation in his country, Cuba. I have heard that last Friday, Oswaldo Paya wrote to you, Mr President, and also sent a copy of that letter to President Prodi, to Commissioners Nielson and Patten and to President-designate Barroso. The intention, as far as I understand it, is to have this letter distributed to all of the Members of this House, which would be extremely useful, because we are going to debate the Cuba situation tomorrow. I have also heard that the Council is set to hold a debate on the Cuba situation in the coming days. There is a conspiracy among certain governments against human rights in Cuba and against hopes for democracy in that friendliest of countries. It is appalling that this conspiracy continues, even though we have not heard the perspective of Cuban democrats. I therefore wish to know if you have received the letter, Mr President, and if you are going to distribute it. I should also like to ask you to pass it on to the Dutch Presidency and to the Council. Thank you very much."@en1
