lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, we in Parliament are rightly particularly attentive to areas where ethnic tensions lead to conflict and attempts to overthrow democracy and the rule of law. In both Fiji and the Solomon Islands democratic government and law and order have been undermined. In Fiji the aim must be to restore the legitimate government elected on the basis of the 1997 multi-racial constitution, which was approved by both ethnic groups – Indo-Fijians and indigenous Fijians. Violence against property and people must cease and the hostages released. The interim civilian administration installed in Fiji does not meet the constitutional or democratic tests. We therefore call on the Commission to begin with determination the procedures to suspend development cooperation with Fiji. The beleaguered inhabitants of Fiji are looking to the European Union, which they see as the beacon of democracy and racial equality, to come to their aid. We also warn the Solomon Islands that a suspension of aid may be needed there to restore democracy, peace and stability."@en1
