"You have quite rightly pointed out, Mr President, Commissioner, that human rights have never been a purely domestic issue. Wherever human rights are violated, we in the European Parliament must object to such violations and bring charges in every case. It is, therefore, a good thing that we have good relations, economic as well as political, with the Chinese authorities. Now we must use these relations, through you, Mr President, and through every delegation that goes there, every parliamentary committee or delegation such as mine, which maintains relations with China.
We must use them first of all to ensure that press can do its job and provide us with reliable information from Tibet. I also want to ask you, Commissioner, to send people from our delegation in Beijing to Tibet as quickly as possible, to submit a request to send a delegation of people there, today if possible. They need to go to Lhasa to see what things are like there, what happens to people who have been arrested and what is happening at the blockaded monasteries. You have people available in Beijing. Please make that request and let us know what happens so that we can find out what is going on
