lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we are just about to vote, for the thirteenth time, on a resolution concerning Tibet, and we have to say, if we examine the effect these have had in the past, it is exceptionally poor. This is why I am addressing the Commissioner. I would like the European Union, with its three powerful institutions, to join forces and appeal to world opinion, the Chinese authorities and especially the World Bank. As fellow MEPs have already explained, we need to put a stop to internal colonisation, this brutal murder of the cultural identity of the Tibetan population. That is only possible if the World Bank stops financing precisely the opposite, namely the import of Chinese people with a view to destroying Tibet’s original culture. How can we justify spending taxpayers’ money on this kind of practice? I hope you will help us bring about a U-turn, as requested by my fellow MEPs in the amendment; a U-turn which prescribes that, if there is no change in three years’ time, we will eventually decide to recognise Tibet’s provisional government rather than continue to tread water."@en1
