"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is universally known that human rights are being violated in Nepal. This resolution rightly condemns all acts of violence, those perpetrated by the security forces, but also those by the Maoist rebels. It rightly presses for mediation and political consultation. However, it rightly asks for the underlying causes of the conflict to be addressed, that is, abject poverty, social inequality and marginalised population groups. In August, the European Commission provided EUR 615 000 for a peaceful solution to the conflict. Against this background, it is unwise to supply murder weapons to Nepal. It is also a clear violation of the code of conduct regarding the export of weapons. The Flemish Greens clearly state that the conditions for supply are not fulfilled and our party will continue to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Belgian Parliament whether it is still possible to suspend the planned supply of weapons. In this sense, this resolution is a more than obvious sign to Mr Michel of a poor, incoherent document. The Nepalese need ploughshares, not weapons, Mr Michel."@en1
