“Moratinos can claim credit for keeping the EU’s attention on Cuba but the firmness of the collective EU in denouncing Cuban repression has surely proved more valuable since 1996. It has helped to produce more than dialogue for its own sake. The EU should heed these lessons when it reviews Cuba policy — and the continued lack of basic freedoms on the island — in September.”
