".
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we believe that on this highly significant occasion – the 50th anniversary of the uprising of the Tibetan people and the flight of the Dalai Lama – it is very important that our Parliament should express its views in a resolution and not just in a debate.
This is not the first time: this Parliament has always stood by the Dalai Lama and the cause of the freedom of the Tibetan people and we cannot draw back now, not least because the situation is not getting any better. The situation is constantly deteriorating and even very recently we have been subject to intimidation by the Chinese Government regarding Tibetan freedom. I therefore feel it is crucial that we not only talk but also take decisions."@en1
