"Mr President, Commissioner, on behalf of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, I would like to highlight this Group’s contributions to the joint motion for a resolution, both in terms of promoting dialogue with the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, as well as in the firm position which has to be maintained on this issue.
We believe that there is an objective need for Taiwan to have a greater presence in the international institutions; this Parliament can promote that. We therefore support the existence of relations between this Parliament and the Taiwanese Parliament by means of the delegation from our institution and also the need to open a European Union information office in Taiwan.
Having said this, we also want this dialogue to have an objective basis, as have the declarations of the new President, Chen Shui-bian, to which, however, the People’s Republic of China has replied with a renewed display of nervousness, arrogance and a disrespect for democracy. We must reject these threats since they are absolutely unacceptable, but also because they are an objective threat to the dialogue which is so necessary to the resolution of this problem."@en1
