The situation in Tibet is critical. The Tibetans are harshly repressed by the Chinese authorities when they demonstrate peacefully to ask for independence. Faced with the growing number of self-immolations and protests by the Tibetan people, Parliament has adopted a resolution, which I supported. In this resolution, Parliament first of all reminds us that the strategic partnership between the European Union and the People’s Republic of China must be based on common principles and values. It also urges the Vice-President of the Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to appoint a special coordinator with a mandate to report regularly on the situation in Tibet. The objective is to advance respect for the human rights of the Tibetan people, including their right to preserve and develop their distinctive identity and its religious, cultural and linguistic manifestations. The European Union wishes, moreover, to support constructive dialogue and negotiations with the Government of the People’s Republic of China. The People’s Republic of China is being asked to grant genuine autonomy to the historical territory of Tibet."@en1
