European Parliment insists on Zelaya's return (Spanish)
http://www.elcomercio.com/noticiaEC.asp?id_noticia=291034&id_seccion=5

La UE defendió el miércoles que la única salida a la crisis política en Honduras es el retorno al poder del presidente depuesto, Manuel Zelaya, durante un debate en el Parlamento Europeo en que todos los grupos mostraron su rechazo al golpe de Estado de junio.

“El regreso” de Zelaya al poder es “necesario para restaurar el orden constitucional” en Honduras, declaró el canciller sueco, Carl Bildt, cuyo país ejerce la presidencia de turno de la Unión Europea.

Bildt saludó además la mediación del presidente costarricense en la crisis, Oscar Arias, “probablemente el mejor hombre” para acometer esa tarea, en palabras del canciller, que consideró no obstante que “se tardará un tiempo” en llegar a una solución en Honduras.

La Unión Europea (UE) retiró a los embajadores de sus Estados miembros presentes en Tegucigalpa y no mantiene contactos directos con el gobierno de facto de Roberto Micheletti, como medida de protesta contra el golpe de Estado que echó del poder y del país a Zelaya el pasado 28 de junio.

Igualmente canceló la ronda de negociaciones prevista a mediados de julio en Bruselas, llamada a ser la última antes de cerrar el Acuerdo de Asociación entre la UE y Centroamérica. Por el momento, Bruselas no fijó una nueva fecha para celebrar la reunión.

El miércoles, Zelaya instó a los hondureños a la “insurrección” para forzar su restitución en el poder, antes del nuevo encuentro, este sábado en Costa Rica, entre el presidente depuesto y los golpistas con el fin de tratar de desbloquear la crisis.

1. Now, this might have some baby teeth in it because
it says the next and maybe last round of talks aimed at finalizing the Association Agreement between the EU and Central America have been canceled. And one of the issues in that agreement is trade. From the EU site:

1. The Association Agreement

An Association Agreement is the most advanced type of agreement that the EU can engage in with a country or a region in the world. It is proposed to partners with which the EU intends to deepen a strong relationship, based on mutual trust and on common values and principals. The future Agreement will give a legal framework to all aspects of EU’s relations with Central America. It is organized in three chapters, namely Political Dialogue, Cooperation and Trade.

The European Commission negotiates on behalf of the EU Member States a “region-to-region” Association Agreement with Central America. Central America is represented by one of its countries acting as a spokesperson on a rotating basis.

A first round of negotiations took place in San José, Costa Rica, in October 2007, where the Parties clarified their expectations and engaged in first exchanges of views on the three pillars of the future Agreement (Political Dialogue, Cooperation and Trade).
