"This resolution is motivated by the serious political and institutional crisis taking place in Côte d’Ivoire following the second round of the presidential elections on 28 November 2010.
The elections, which were monitored by the United Nations (UN) and the European Union, took place in a generally satisfactory way. However, the results presented by Côte d’Ivoire’s Independent Electoral Commission, announcing Mr Ouattara’s victory, were rejected by the country’s Constitutional Court, which reversed the result, alleging fraud in some areas and declaring the current president, Laurent Gbagbo, the winner.
As the only source of democratic legitimacy is universal suffrage, whose results were certified by the UN, the European Parliament is using this resolution, for which I am voting, to call on Mr Gbagbo to resign and hand over power to Alassane Ouattara, and to strongly condemn the acts of intimidation directed at EU observers. Through this resolution, Parliament welcomes the European Council’s decision to adopt specific measures against those obstructing the process of peace and national reconciliation, and supports the EU’s decision to impose sanctions on Laurent Gbagbo."@en1
