".
Mr President, I think it is clear after this debate that there is broad agreement in this House that Nepal may just be starting to turn the corner and there may for once, after ten long years of war, be a sign of hope.
Nepal’s problems demonstrate the weakness of the EU, but the recent reinstatement of democracy gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our strengths. In the absence of a collective will to find a solution in Nepal, we cannot impose one. But now we have the opportunity to guide, to assist and to advise all the democratic forces in Nepal as they continue their long, tortuous journey towards a multi-party democracy and respect for human rights.
This resolution contains a number of worthy ideas, in particular the establishment of an international contact group and continued engagement of the international community within Nepal, guiding all these democratic forces. We must continue to support the democratic growth of Nepal. We cannot criticise and we must have a clean pair of hands in our negotiations with all parties in that country. I commend every mechanism within this resolution to the House and I hope to hear from the Commissioner that the Commission will continue to support us in this aim."@en1
