lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the fact that we are discussing EU-China relations illustrates their importance. The individual speakers, the report itself, as well as all those taking the floor here have stressed how important relations with China are to the future of the European Union. However, we also agree that these relations are fundamentally different. Our approach has to be different, in discussions on this issue, from our relations with another large country of the region such as India. When discussing China, we should always bear in mind the foundations on which this House, and the entire European Union, are built. Therefore, our priority is to promote, foster and create conditions allowing people to live in democratic conditions, without fear of repression and without acts which are part of the daily life in China. In debating this report, which is, on the whole, correct – and I hope that all amendments, and all elements relating to human and citizens’ rights will be adopted by this House – we should remember that repression of religious communities – and that includes all, from the Catholic Church to religious movements such as Falun Gong, which are being oppressed in a quite shocking manner – as well as repression of fundamental human rights is not a thing of the past in China, and continue on a daily basis. Forced sterilisation and forced abortions continue to be practiced. The repression of national groups, as is the case in Tibet at the moment, is also still not a thing of the past. We need to draw attention to all of this in our report, as it is extremely important that both the European Parliament and the whole European Union do not simply focus on economic statistics and on trade in their relations with China, but that they also focus on the ideals that the European Union does and should promote."@en1
