lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as my colleague has already mentioned, the Rohingya community have suffered discrimination and violence in the country of Burma for many years, and so I welcome the fact that we are able today to agree this urgency resolution in this House. The current wave of violence and repression has been described as ethnic cleansing, a term that should fill us all with dread in this continent as we have experienced it all too recently, and it has also been described as involving crimes against humanity. In our resolution we urge the country of Bangladesh, which has already provided refuge to many thousands of Rohingya who are fleeing Burma, to keep their border open and we call on the international community to support the Government of Bangladesh in offering refuge. We also call upon the Government of Myanmar, which must stop the repression, condemn violence against the Rohingya and allow international observers into the area. We call too on the EU governments to always view their relationship with Myanmar through the lens of human rights."@en1
