Proposal for a Recommendation to the Council, the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on relations with Belarus

2020/2081(INI)·9th term·AFET·INI - Own-initiative procedure·CompletedProcedure completed
Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): AUŠTREVIČIUS Petras (Renew)
Summary

A proposal for a recommendation on EU relations with Belarus. The amendments react to the 9 August presidential election, describing it as fraudulent, and condemn the regime's violent repression of peaceful protests, detentions, torture, the death penalty, and treatment of the National Coordination Council and President-elect Tsikhanouskaya, while framing relations within the Eastern Partnership and Partnership Priorities.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
