lpv:translated text	"I have voted in favour of the report but against approved Amendment Nos 1 and 2. I find it extremely regrettable that my own Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats tabled two amendments which weaken the committee’s original text. Amendment No 1 removed the wording in paragraph 30 to the effect that the European Parliament ‘expresses its indignation at the increasing number of executions in China’ and ‘recalls that the Chinese government systematically uses persecution and torture as a means to silence dissidents and minorities’. The way in which the Chinese Government violates human rights is clear from, for example, its treatment of Christians and Falun Gong adherents. I also voted against Amendment No 2, relating to paragraph 35, because, remarkably enough, it does not include Taiwan in the group of democratic countries. Moreover, there is a desire only to give Taiwan observer status, while other democracies in the region are to be given the opportunity of becoming full members. I also welcome the fact that the report sheds light on the serious problem posed by the increasing number of fundamentalist Islamic terrorist groups, such as Laskar Jihad, which constitute a serious threat to the Christian minority in Indonesia and are responsible for the fact that thousands of people have been killed and approximately 400 000 forced to flee their homes."@en1
