"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that we must help the Dalai Lama not only to say ‘no’, where he has clearly done so, but also to say ‘yes’ where he has done so. He has said ‘no’ to independence; he has said ‘yes’ to autonomy, and it is with this proposal that he should be given help. He has said ‘no’ to violence; he has said ‘yes’ to non-violence, which means being proactive and may entail collective action: it is a policy which calls for knowledge, for an independent international inquiry to find out what really happened and is happening in Tibet. He has said ‘no’ to a boycott of the Olympics, but ‘yes’ to whatever can be done to use this as an opportunity for the international community to make its political voice heard in favour of human rights. Chairman Karma Chophel, who is about to speak to us in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, has also spoken of the need for everyone to take this opportunity to show support for the Tibetan people and for all oppressed peoples in China: the Uyghurs, the Mongols and others. Therefore, Mr Solana was undoubtedly too quick off the mark – as the Council has also said – in taking a stance, in signalling his intention to attend, without having a mandate from the Council and without having heard the opinion of the European Parliament."@en1
