lpv:spoken text	"Can I say firstly that I was astonished by the Minister's response to my honourable friend on the subject of human rights in Egypt. If Europe does not stand for human rights then I do not know what it does stand for. I would like to test him, if I may, on Tibet because Tibet has now been illegally occupied by China for many years. Does the Minister agree that no matter how many years before Tibet regains its freedom, no European state should recognise the illegal actions by the Chinese Government in Tibet and that the transfer of tens of thousands of non-Tibetan people into Amdo is illegal under international law? The World Bank has now recognised this and I understand is abandoning its so-called Western Poverty Project proposal. The British Government has not yet withdrawn its support and all I ask the President-in-Office to do is to remind all Member State governments on the Council – including Britain – that they must not endorse or be seen to endorse illegal acts and abuses of human rights and national rights against the people and the nation of Tibet."@en1
