EU Deputies Urge Elimination of Common Position vs. Cuba - "but its a two way street"

 European deputies of the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left demanded the elimination of the so-called Common Position of the European Union (EU) against Cuba, in force since 1996.

The European Parliament's rejection of this unilateral and interfering policy was expressed during a meeting held in Strasbourg with Mirtha Hormilla, Cuban ambassador to Belgium and head of the mission at the EU.

Legislators also demanded the lifting of the five-decades-old U.S.-imposed blockade on Cuba, and asked Washington to release five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in U.S. prisons.

Note EU-Digest: obviously Cuba should understand that if they want the EU to lift restrictions that negotiations are always a "two way street". This means Cuba should in return respect human rights laws, abolish press censorship, and release all political prisoners.
