lpv:translated text	"Mr President, despite the fact that the Socialists are ignoring this resolution in this House, the Liberals think it is very important because the blatantly restrictive situation in Tibet, in particular in Ngaba county, has this year driven ten Tibetans to self-immolation. These desperate acts of protest, which have been provoked by the increasingly suppressive policies of Beijing, require a global diplomatic intervention. There is no time to lose. We therefore call for the human rights situation in Tibet to be addressed with the President of the People’s Republic of China at the upcoming G20 Summit on 3 and 4 November in Cannes. I trust that President Barroso and President Van Rompuy will convey our unequivocal concern to President Hu Jintao. Human rights are not a matter of convenience but of principle. The High Representative and the EEAS have been tasked with raising the human rights issue at the next EU-China Summit and constantly monitor the human rights situation in China. Every opportunity must be used to remind Beijing of our ceaseless concern over the ongoing human rights violations in Tibet. The Chinese authorities may place fire extinguishers on the streets to prevent self-immolations, but they are unable to smother the flame of freedom in the hearts of the people of Tibet and silence their call for meaningful autonomy."@en1
