lpv:translated text	". Mr President, of course we think that Nepal is a distant country and that these matters are not always very easy for us to understand. However, I must say that some things simply do stand out. Before I entered the Chamber, a journalist asked me if I thought that the European Union should become involved in reinstating democracy in the world. I said that the European Union obviously has limited powers and that we must always support certain values. We are well aware that the situation in Nepal is unique. It is not merely a simple choice, based on the fact that the strong rule of a king has exceeded the mandate granted to the latter by Nepalese law, and as a consequence has brought with it serious problems for many Nepalese citizens. It is also a problem of the Maoist guerrillas in Nepal. Let us remember that we must be very careful when deciding who to support in Nepal. It would be a great tragedy for the country if, after the king is removed from dictatorial power which he wilfully claimed and after a short transitional period of democracy, Maoist tyranny should ensue. We are well aware that revolutionary Communists have frequently acted in such a fashion: they fought against a strong monarchy under the banner of democracy and then destroyed democracy in order to build their tyrannical governments. We must be very careful and, whilst supporting democratic change, demand respect for minorities and the opening of a centre for refugees from Tibet, which is something that was mentioned by Mr Mann. At the same time, we must carefully monitor the situation so that we can prevent one bad solution becoming another, even worse, solution. That will be the task of the European Union."@en1
