In light of the European Parliament’s consent in 2017 to the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement with the Republic of Cuba, we ask:
- 1.What progress exactly has been made in the Republic of Cuba on civil liberties, political rights and human rights as a result of the agreement signed between the European Union and Cuba on 12 December 2016?
- 2.Which civil society organisations or representatives have met with the EU Delegation in Havana since 2019, and what financial support or advice have they been provided with?
- 3.What steps has our Delegation in Havana taken in light of the arbitrary arrests and harassment suffered by Sakharov Prize laureates, Cuban citizens or members of the San Isidro Movement and 27N acting in support of civil and political freedoms, in order to ensure that they be released and their rights be respected?
