Press Release: Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on the situation in Zimbabwe

The European Union is concerned over the situation in Zimbabwe, including insufficient developments with regard to respect for human rights and democracy, unresolved nomination and appointment issues and continued politically motivated harassment of MDC members. Following
mediation by the SADC, the Zanu-PF, MDC-T and MDC-M parties agreed to cooperate in a government and in the implementation of the Global Political Agreement (GPA). However, elements within Zanu-PF have consistently failed to accept real power-sharing and to demonstrate a
willingness to assist in the implementation of the reforms to which they have committed.
