lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, we must fight for democratic rights everywhere, not just in our own neighbourhood, not just in North Africa. We must have a standard European policy towards non-democratically elected governments, against governments which do not respect democratic rights. Mr Verhofstadt said that, to a certain extent, we are hypocrites. It is true because, often, we do not rank any principles above trade. One typical example is the Mercosur agreement, in which, for the sake of opening up trade, we are happily sacrificing 11% of the Amazon and millions of European farmers. The Commission is to blame in all of this, Commissioner. The Commissioner for Trade is often indifferent towards other European policies. However, if we continue like this, we shall continue to be hypocrites. Nepal must respect the democratic rights of refugees from Tibet and the European Union must use every means at its disposal and must raise the issue within all frameworks, not just in connection with human rights. This is not only Baroness Ashton’s affair; it is also Mr De Gucht’s and the entire Commission’s affair."@en1
