lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is important that we should send a quite unmistakeable message to Cuba, to the effect that Castro’s dictatorship must be done away with once and for all. The fact is that, firstly, what we are dealing with here is an oppressed people, obliged to contend with one of the last of the Communist dictatorships that have been in existence since the Second World War, or, in this instance, since the 1960s; secondly, Cuba continues to be what one might call a source of infection for Latin America. We see Castro suddenly enjoying renewed prestige in a whole array of Latin American states, and that is something we cannot simply wink at. Although we do not support a policy of unilateral sanctions, we do see democracy and human rights as fundamental, and if the observance of basic human rights is not introduced into Cuba at long last, then not only does that make proper relations between Cuba and the European Union impossible, but it also imposes a burden on Latin America as a whole."@en1
