lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, Tibet is an issue which is on our agenda year after year after year, and to that extent I understand the point that the honourable Member has made. We have adopted resolutions on this subject time and time again. It is a country that is illegally occupied by China and its people are oppressed by that regime. It is an urgent issue because in recent months we have seen various measures being taken by the Chinese government to move people into the area of Tibet and to exploit the natural resources there. These measures were initially supported by the World Bank, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom. Now that the pressure has been put on, Germany and the United States have withdrawn their support. The World Bank is withdrawing support but it has not yet said so publicly. It is urgent that we put pressure on them to withdraw support for these measures so that this Parliament can stand up for the people of Tibet, stand up for democracy, stand up for the stopping of what is an illegal act in international law."@en1
