"Mr President, in relation to the last debate, I cannot resist noting that Commissioner Liikanen did not thank those European Union football teams who have made a thankless contribution to helping decrease the likelihood of transmitting foot-and-mouth disease from South Korea by departing from the competition early.
Speaking on behalf of the Socialist group on the resolution on Nepal, we have a situation where Maoist rebels are threatening a very fragile constitutional monarchy, and the situation is in danger of fast sliding into a civil war. Several thousand people have died and hundreds have been arrested. The way forward is clear: the Government must ensure respect for human rights and internal law. The alleged massacres of 500 Maoist guerrillas in May, if it is true, will only make the situation worse.
We must provide the means from the European Union to try and find a peaceful solution to the current conflict, and the finance to help rebuild the economy, in particular in the rural areas. The government of Nepal itself must restore the rule of law and order and there is a need to set up an independent investigation into the allegations against the security forces."@en1
