lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the situation in Vietnam warrants the attention of the international community. The EU needs to send a clear message: discrimination against religious communities, such as the United Buddhist Church of Vietnam, its Protestant congregation and dissident groups, must cease. Members of these communities, who practise their faith peacefully, have suffered detention and home arrest. That was an extract from a speech I made four years ago in this House on human rights in Vietnam. It is sad to realise I can make the same speech now, as the situation with regard to freedom of religion has not improved. This may beg the question of the importance of these discussions, but there is no alternative. We have to continue to put the pressure on and do all we can to attract international attention. Moreover, there is some hope, because there have been small constitutional reforms in Vietnam, at least at the level of legislation. We have to give credit for these things, and I hope that in four years’ time we can say something more about it."@en1
