"Madam President, I would like to begin by congratulating Mrs Andrikienė for her efforts in drafting this report. I would also like to say that I voted for Amendment 25 in its entirety as I feel that the climate of impunity in Russia is extremely dangerous.
The European Union’s intention is to defend on the international stage the same principles which also guide it internally, namely, democracy, the rule of law and human rights. In any case, it is perfectly clear that numerous human rights activists have been killed in recent years, which raises a question mark over the development of genuine democracy in Russia.
The message we wanted to convey to the Russian authorities via Amendment 25 is the urgent need to investigate the death of Sergey Magnitsky. The response from the authorities in Moscow to this initiative actually shows that the Russians are listening to the messages from the European Parliament. This is yet another reason for us to condemn vociferously the lack of any investigation into this case. We call on the Council to monitor this matter closely and to take the necessary measures, failing any progress."@en1
