"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I was stunned by Commissioner Šefčovič’s words just now when he said that we respect the territorial integrity of China. This means that the Commission recognises China’s right to occupy Tibet, which is a very serious matter.
While the Tibetan people continue to be threatened, the Dalai Lama, in the 2008 Memorandum and in the Notes attached to it this year, has confirmed his commitment not to seek the separation and independence of Tibet, but effective autonomy for the Tibetan people within the framework of the constitution of the People’s Republic of China: a compromise policy of mutual benefit aimed at preserving Tibet’s culture, based on compassion and non-violence.
The Tibetan people expect responses from the Chinese Government; for example, talks with the Dalai Lama’s representatives and consenting to the request made by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to send a delegation to uncover the harsh reality.
The European Parliament should also listen to the Tibetan community. By strengthening national synergies, it could try to establish a European coordination network for the Tibetan people who, without robust action on the part of the international community, are in danger of being wiped out."@en1
