lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. I have some quite fresh impressions from my visit to China last week. Our European Parliament delegation mentioned Tibet at every opportunity, at every meeting with the Chinese, in the Chinese Congress, at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Chinese were very nervous and did not allow any discussion about this issue. I could see how preparations for the Olympic Games are progressing, how they have become a part of life of every Chinese citizen. That is why it is so regrettable that the Chinese Government has not grasped the main mission of the Olympic Games. Had it understood, it would not have sent convoys of Chinese army vehicles with thousands of soldiers to Tibet and neighbouring provinces. The Tibetan people are devoted Buddhists whose religion is continuously oppressed by the government. I consider the Chinese official policy towards Tibet to be genocide: an effort to destroy Tibetan culture and religion. I am happy that we are hearing today in this democratic House a strong call for support for Tibet, a clear call for protection of the sanctity of the wonderful values of the Olympic Games and for a boycott of the opening ceremony. Thank you."@en1
