"I voted in favour of this report because the EU and Kazakhstan aspire to deepen and broaden their relations and closer cooperation is mutually beneficial. It should be noted that Kazakhstan is one of the main countries that has played a positive role in Central Asia, making efforts to develop good neighbourly relations, resume regional cooperation and resolve all bilateral issues by peaceful means. By thus pursuing the principles of better democratic rights and equality, Kazakhstan has been admitted to the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe. The Kazakh authorities have also taken important steps in terms of cooperation with NGOs in West Kazakhstan, in order to improve the situation for the inhabitants of the region, and in particular for workers on strike. This initiative by Kazakhstan in the Central Asian region is not just commendable but merits further close cooperation and support from the EU. It is also important to note that the EU is a key trading partner for Kazakhstan and the biggest investor in the country. As Kazakhstan has clearly expressed its wish to approximate to the EU’s standards and its social and economic models, which will entail a thorough reform of the Kazakh state and public administration, the country has shown that it has already been able to achieve significant results in the areas of poverty reduction, public health and education. Hopefully this positive initiative by Kazakhstan will continue to have an impact in future."@en1
