lpv:translated text	"Colleagues, through the ages the Olympic movement has striven for a better world. The great event about to begin in Beijing has helped draw attention to Tibet and human rights. Dialogue between Beijing and the Dalai Lama must definitely continue. By giving China the opportunity to host this worldwide sporting event, the International Olympic Committee imposed the very clear condition that by the year 2008 China should respect human rights. We know that this has not happened. The Olympic Games has never been all about sport. The principles of the Olympic Charter echo those of the EU to a considerable extent, I refer to citizens’ basic rights and human rights where no compromise is given. The Charter states that the host country is required to uphold human dignity and not to oppress citizens on grounds of nationality or religious belief. As a result I share the view that President Sarkozy’s place is in Paris in front of his TV, not in the Olympic stadium in Beijing."@en1
