"Mr President, no-one can object to equal relations being developed between all countries. That is not the point. Despite the amendments made to the original Dupuis report, the guiding spirit behind the Brok report is still crass intervention in the internal affairs of the ASEM countries in the name of the so-called rule of law, human rights etc. etc.
And just what human rights can anyone who proposes such things as respect for the world trade order be talking about? Crass intervention in purely internal affairs in the countries in the area up to and including condemnation of the democratic policy of the People's Republic of China, a country which the European Union has obviously set its sights on. Conspicuous by its absence is any reference whatsoever to the fact that peace in the area is in jeopardy now that the United States has stepped up its aggression towards China, as seen in the NMD, the new US defence philosophy, flights on spying missions, the visits by the Dalai Lama and the President of Taiwan. But the report does not omit to call – twice – for visas to be granted to members of the government of Taiwan, thereby mimicking the American tactic on this issue. I need hardly add that the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece will be voting against this report."@en1
