Udvalget om Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedsanliggender respektive ordføreren, fru Anne André-Léonard, har anbefalet, at man udsætter afgørelsen om partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftalen indtil en gang i foråret 1998, fordi demokratiog menneskerettighedssituationen i Usbekistan anses for ekstremt utilfredsstillende.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy, or to be precise its draftsman, Mrs Anne AndréLéonard, recommended suspending a decision on the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement until spring 1998, as the democratic and human rights position in Uzbekistan is regarded as extremely unsatisfactory.
