lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution because, in my opinion, the situation in Tibet is getting worse and the current dialogue between the EU and China on human rights is not effective, in spite of the fact that both the European Parliament and the High Representative have on more than one occasion expressed concern over the Chinese authorities’ restrictions on freedom, religion and the right of assembly, deportations, arbitrary detentions, the growing number of self-immolation cases and other human rights violations. However, a formal exchange of opinions on its own is not enough; therefore I agree entirely that one of the main tasks of the future EU Special Representative for Human Rights must be to ensure that the EU pays constant attention to the situation in Tibet and to inform the institutions of the situation. I also welcome the appointment of an EU coordinator on Tibet. China is not only one of the EU’s strategic partners, but is also a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and is accordingly obliged to develop the values contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, both globally and in internal policies. In order to become a modern power the authorities of Communist China must learn to deal with their internal fears and recognise Tibetans as equal Chinese citizens, whom the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China guarantees rights of autonomy. The culture and religion of Tibet that have been developing for thousands of years must be protected as a unique cultural heritage of humanity and its unhindered continuity must be guaranteed."@en1
