lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, my colleague, Mrs Lynne, asked for a new Human Rights Commission to be set up in Sri Lanka and I am very pleased to announce that the President yesterday did just that, in anticipation, I suppose, of our resolution in this Parliament. The Human Rights Commission is now up and running. I think it was Winston Churchill who said that ‘jaw-jaw is always better than war-war’. What we have to do is continue talking. There is no final military solution to this conflict, which has now raged in the country of my birth for over 25 years. Thousands of people have died and, with no possibility of a military solution, we must negotiate and talk until a commonality of interest is found. Who should do the talking? The European Union is a Co-Chair and I am led to believe that the Council has decided to ban the LTTE as a terrorist organisation. But we must continue to talk and the EU and the Co-Chairs, including Norway, in consultation with India, now have the role of peacemakers. We have to bring peace to the island. The intransigence of the LTTE, which periodically talks peace and then goes back to war, has got to stop. The international community is not going to be fooled anymore by this stop-go, stop-go process. I would like to thank my colleagues in this Parliament for the cooperation and understanding they have shown in this matter."@en1
