"Mr President, I can only agree with the previous speaker. I am convinced that increased representation for Taiwan and opportunities for it to participate in various ways in the UN and in the work of other international organisations would contribute to peace and security in the region. The Commission and, in particular, the Member States must pronounce themselves emphatically in favour of such an arrangement. The first opportunity to take action will be the impending meeting of the World Health Organisation in Geneva. It would be unfair if Taiwan, which is one of the countries affected by SARS, were not to be able to make its voice heard and not to be represented in Geneva.
It is gratifying that the European Economic and Trade Office has been set up in Taiwan, something which I think indicates that the EU wants to see increased cooperation.
In this context, it is also important for the EU institutions and the Member States to declare themselves in favour of Taiwan’s needing to be able to make its voice heard in all the international forums."@en1
