EU says no headway with Cuba

The European Union (EU) says it made no headway with Cuba on its human rights record, following talks in Brussels.



The comments were made by Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kohout, who represented the EU at the meeting.



Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez defended Havana\'s record, saying the common EU position on Cuba, with its focus on human rights was obsolete.



The EU lifted sanctions on Cuba in 2008 to encourage democratic reforms, but decided to review the move annually.
