lpv:translated text	"Mr President, several fellow Members have spoken about China’s entitlement to the advantages of WTO membership and globalisation. However, when enjoying those advantages, China must comply with the WTO rules and other international norms such as human rights and social rights. The free flow of goods is important, but the free flow of thoughts is equally important. Free trade is important, but the freedom of people is just as important. Several people have recently expressed their concern about the Hungarian Prime Minister, Mr Ferenc Gyurcsány, promising that more than one billion Chinese citizens can travel to Hungary without a visa. I would like to assure you that this is not the official Hungarian position, and it is not supported either by the Fidesz or the European People’s Party. At the same time, I strongly appreciate that the report draws attention to the alarming situation of human rights in China, initiates the immediate elimination of child labour and hard labour and expects compliance with the fundamental social and labour norms. In this context, it is hard to interpret the statement of the Hungarian Prime Minister that the economic and social model of China should be followed in many respects. European Union membership means that countries share the same common values and these common values – like freedom and respect for human rights – shall govern the common foreign and security policy. Maintaining visa requirements in the case of China serves the safety of European citizens. These higher interests cannot be subordinated to the momentary vagaries of politicians."@en1
