The EU called for further independent verification of election records “if possible, by an organization of international standing.”

The European Union cannot recognize Nicolás Maduro’s re-election in Venezuela’s recent presidential election because the country’s electoral body has yet to provide official voting records. This was stated in a statement by the EU Council on Sunday, August 4.

Brussels said the EU continues to “follow developments in Venezuela with great concern.”

“The reports of international election observation missions clearly stated that the July 28 presidential election did not meet international standards of electoral integrity,” said the published decision.

The EU Council release states that despite its own promises, “The National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela has still not published the official voting records (“actas”) from the stations of voting.”

“Without evidence to support them, the results published on August 2 by the CNE will not be recognized,” the European Union emphasizes.

Brussels also said that any attempt to delay the full publication of official voting records “only casts doubt on the reliability of the officially published results.”

At the same time, the EU added that copies of electoral voting protocols published by the Venezuelan opposition and verified by several independent organizations show that “Edmundo González Urrutia is likely to be the winner of the presidential election in by a significant majority.”

Nicolas Maduro won the presidential election in Venezuela for the third time. With 80% of the votes counted, Maduro won more than 51% of the vote, ahead of Democratic Unitary Platform candidate Edmund Gonzalez Urrutia, who received more than 44%.

The opposition says its candidate won 70% of the vote. Latin American leaders also doubt the integrity of Maduro’s victory.
