"Madam President, as someone for whom the ideals on which the European Union is based are more than just a slogan, I am glad that the European Parliament is going to provide the venue for a debate associated with the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising.
At the same time, I am surprised and saddened by the fact that the date of the debate has been set for 12 March. I would like to remind those who have forgotten that the Tibetan uprising began on 10 March. However, on that day, Parliament will be attending to such subjects as type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles and the charging of heavy goods vehicles.
They are important subjects. Nevertheless, the people and institutions concerned with type-approval requirements for heavy goods vehicles would not be offended if the dates for these debates were changed round. Perhaps 10 March marks an anniversary, related to this subject, which I do not know about. Perhaps it is ‘World Type-Approval for Heavy Goods Vehicles Day’ or ‘Type-Approval Inspectors Day’.
It would reflect very badly on Parliament if it turned out that this choice of date for the debate stemmed from a desire to reduce its significance."@en1
