lpv:translated text	"Mr President, from all accounts, the human rights situation in China has deteriorated considerably. This is especially true of Tibet, where, for the time being, the Dalai Lama’s reasonable five point plan has no chance of finding its way onto the agenda. The European Union cannot continue to turn a blind eye. The United States presented a resolution on the violation of human rights in China at the fifty-sixth session of the UN Commission on Human Rights. We are extremely concerned by the fact that the Council of the Union has also not yet announced its intention to support this resolution, and this may not be coincidental, since the EU-China dialogue on human rights is at a complete standstill. We call for an end to this policy of turning a blind eye to events in China, and for the European Union to join the American initiative without worrying about losing choice economic opportunities, and to cease this silent and tolerant stance towards the continuous violations of human rights in China, and, in particular, Tibet. Europe is laboriously and extremely inconsistently shaking off her lethargic attitude to the horrors taking place in Chechnya. I sincerely hope that she will follow the example of the United States and, at last, wake up to the human rights situation in China."@en1
