"Mr President, I would like to start by thanking Mr Kukan for incorporating my amending paragraph. If it were not for the amendments in addition to paragraph 72, I am afraid that Kashmir and the plight of Kashmiris would have been completely omitted from this report.
It is this House, out of the EU institutions, that keeps the suffering of the Kashmiri people on the agenda. It is not the Council, it is not the Commission. I am afraid that our flag ought to represent something for which we can be proud – and in many instances it does – but, when it comes to the issue of Kashmir, it represents nothing other than double standards. That is something that I am afraid the people of Kashmir will remind us about one day.
I welcome Mr Stavros Lambrinidis to the Chamber today. Turning to the plight of Christian minorities, both he and I heard directly from Coptic Christian minorities in Egypt about the suffering that they are having to face today. The plight of so many people like them is now becoming so desperate, but yet we as a Union are simply not doing what is necessary to help alleviate the problems they are suffering."@en1
