The House adopted a joint resolution on the situation in Haiti with 74 votes in favour. MEPs condemn the violence and the political assassinations from which Haiti has been suffering for years, and calls on all parties to respect human rights. Parliament also calls on the Haitian Government, the opposition and civil society to work to pave the way for legislative elections. MEPs recommend the appointment of mediators by the UN in the interests of a sustainable political agreement.

The House also deplores the failure of the police and judiciary to confront the ruling party activists responsible for political violence. MEPs call on all specialist international agencies to step up their fight against drug trafficking via Haiti. On the other hand, MEPs call for the establishment of co-operation, in particular in the field of education and health, as soon as the conditions of the Cotonou Agreement have been fulfilled.
