Peru

Question
Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Royall of Blaisdon on 24 November 2005 (WA 237), whether the European Union has decided whether to monitor the Peruvian presidential and congressional elections in April 2006; and whether any requests have    been made to them by non-governmental organisations in Peru concerned with democracy, good governance and human rights issues for assistance for election monitoring.
Answer

The European Commission has not proposed European Union electoral observation of the Peruvian presidential and congressional elections in April 2006. We understand that the European Commission delegation in Lima has not been approached by local non-governmental organisations to assist in the election monitoring process. EU heads of mission in Lima have no plans to recommend an EU electoral observation mission for the April elections.
