"I am delighted to be in a position to vote in favour of the report on negotiations on the EU-Azerbaijan association agreement. This follows a number of welcome recommendations in the report which I feel are essential if EU-Azerbaijan relations are to continue on the road to a final agreement. For example, the protection and promotion of human rights is, of course, vital in this regard and reflects principles already enshrined in the constitution of Azerbaijan. The report gives an important reminder that deeper relations with the EU depend on adherence to the rule of law and the importance of freedom of expression for political opponents. This ties in with concerns expressed over the registration of NGOs and political parties and, of course, a resolution to this problem must be found if EU standards are to be met. Civil society organisations must also be given room to hold government to account. These recommendations form the basis of a free and fair society and must be taken on board by the Council, Commission and External Action Service in their negotiations with Azerbaijan."@en1
