lpv:translated text	"Madam President, it is very unfortunate that the verdict against the former Prime Minister of Ukraine comes at such a decisive moment. It casts a shadow on all efforts made by the current government to bring the country closer to the EU. The seven-year prison sentence for Ms Tymoshenko rightly provoked an outrage throughout the EU and its Member States. However, against the political correctness, I want to be honest in this debate, and I am speaking on my own behalf here. Is the sentencing of Ms Tymoshenko really political revenge, or was it really an end to impunity in Ukraine? Was the sentence of seven years a shocking abuse of the law, or can we simply not imagine the scale of the abuse of power and the damage to the country? When we call for a fair and objective trial, do we really mean that, or do we mean ‘release Tymoshenko’? For me, the answers to these questions are not self-evident. Let us put aside the emotions, let us not be too quick in rejecting the EU aspirations of the Ukraine. Let us help both the government and Ms Tymoshenko find a solution so that the rule of law is preserved but the political process and the next elections are not called into question. I call on the President Yanukovych to take the situation seriously and to respond adequately to our concerns."@en1
