lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are sending out a number of different signals by holding this debate on human rights. We will not accept violations of human dignity, injustice or the persecution of minorities. This includes the situation in Tibet. Baroness Ashton, as High Representative of the Union, you have raised the issue of the events at the Kirti monastery, including the siege, the abduction of people to unknown destinations and the torture, as part of the dialogue between the EU and China. You have rightly called for explanations. The answer given by the Chinese authorities was succinct. The monks themselves were responsible for the social unrest. There has been no let-up in the brutal suppression of Tibetan culture, spirituality, language and fundamental chances of survival. This is why dozens of nuns and monks have immolated themselves as a symbol of protest but also of powerlessness. These desperate calls for help must not go unheard. On behalf of the Tibet Intergroup in this House, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the vast majority of the representatives of the European people, I would like to repeat the call that we have been making for years. Appoint a special representative for Tibet based on the model of the US Department of State or put in place a future coordinator for human rights, a person who will provide Tibet with visible public support and coordinate the measures taken by the Commission and the Council. As there are still no noticeable improvements in the living conditions in Tibet, Baroness Ashton, you must ensure that the subject of Tibet appears on the agenda of every meeting with the representatives of the People’s Republic of China. The Tibetans, who have been subjected to immense suffering for decades, need this sign of hope and European solidarity."@en1
