The High Representative for European Foreign Policy criticizes the US embargo and the inclusion of the island in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. Josep Borrell: The EU has neither the capacity nor the will to impose changes on Cuba, but we do want to have a framework of dialogue that allows us to talk about everything that unites us and differentiates us without taboos or prohibitions.

Borrell announced for the end of November the "important" visit of the EU special representative for Human Rights, Eamon Gilmore.
