lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think first we must thank the chairman of our delegation for relations with South-East Asia, Mr Gerard Collins, who has just spoken and to whom we owe this resolution, for the efforts he has made over the past months to try to resolve an issue which is not really that marginal, since it concerns tens of thousands of people who are now destitute, and have often been so for years. I also want to say that Mr Collins had the support of the entire delegation, Mrs McCarthy, Mr Thomas Mann and all the other members, and I hope the Commission will follow up Parliament’s unanimous position and that we will see rapid results. I think the ball is in Bhutan’s court, but it is now up to the Commission and the Council to put pressure on the Bhutanese Government. Aside from this question, I want to draw attention to a matter that concerns us all and concerns our future. Yesterday we voted for the Galeote Quecedo report on a common Community diplomacy, which in the end was reduced to a report on a future college of common diplomacy. That is not much. It is not much when we know that there is no Commission delegation in Bhutan, when we know that there is no Commission delegation in Nepal, but when we also know that no Member State has an embassy in Bhutan. That certainly does not make for increased contact, nor does it make it easier to take diplomatic action to help solve this particular problem and other more general ones. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the report you adopted. It does not mean the communitisation, even in part, of our common foreign and security policy. Is it really that inconceivable that in a country such as Bhutan, where we have no embassy, we could have a Commission delegation that also acted as an embassy for the 15 Member States? Is that really impossible? Is it beyond your powers of imagination? That is the question I wanted to ask you."@en1
