HAVANA (PL) - Belgian Karen De Gucht, European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, stated Tuesday in this capital that most of the European Union (EU) member countries seek normalization of relations with Cuba.

"We are searching for common spaces to normalize links with Havana," said the diplomat, who met with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez and Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment Minister Rodrigo Malmierca.

De Gucht, who termed Monday's meetings interesting, also attended the opening of the European Commission's stand at the 27th Havana International Fair, the first since 2001.

This is the third EU representative that visits Havana this year, after his predecessor Louis Michel, and EU Commissioner for External Relations and Neighborhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
