"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this House, as you have very rightly said, has already given its opinion on the situation in Burma on a number of occasions, but what is happening today was not happening in 1988. Thousands and thousands of people, monks, are demonstrating and there is little doubt that events are on the move. Up to now, the Community institutions, the Commission and the Council, have said nothing. There have been a few reactions from this or that Member State. In our view, therefore, Wednesday will be an excellent moment for a statement by the Council and the Commission and for a round of speakers from the political groups, if only to show our support for these new developments in Burma. We cannot stay silent at this time and we have a duty to focus attention publicly on this country, because we have the opportunity to do so. Therefore, I really hope that the plenary will accommodate the three groups tabling this proposal."@en1
