"Faced with the violence that occurred in the recent events and the worrying evolution of the situation, the EU calls on all actors involved to show restraint and a sense of responsibility in the interest of the country and its population.
It is now essential to stop any violence and that all stakeholders engage in a process to conduct the electoral process to an end by the organization of the second round of presidential. In this context, a new election timetable must be adopted quickly in order to guarantee the constitutional order and the continuity of the State and allow Haitian voters to fully exercise their political rights.
The EU reaffirms its support for transparent elections honest and democratic. Elections are a necessary step to allow citizens to freely choose their representatives and thus provide the country with legitimate institutions to meet as soon as the multiple socio-economic challenges.
The European Union, as a partner and friend of Haiti reaffirms its commitment to assist Haiti on the path of sustainable and inclusive economic development for which political stability is a prerequisite."
