lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as far as Nepal is concerned, even though we are all aware that this is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, I think that our main problem as the European Parliament is how to face the future. I call on all honourable Members to support the amendment tabled by Mr Messner, which calls on our President to allow a delegation from Parliament to go to Nepal at the earliest opportunity. I think that the role of this delegation is crucial. The destabilising forces at work today in Nepal are very strong and I think we would be unwise to underestimate them. The situation is extremely fragile and I am sure that a gesture, such as the presence of three Members of the European Parliament in Nepal, could have a positive influence on the development of the situation. We are all aware of the pernicious role played by a major country which, under normal circumstances, would not border on Nepal but which, because of its policy of occupation in Tibet, is now practically a neighbour of Nepal. We are all aware of the logistical support that this country – the People’s Republic of China – is giving to the Maoist guerrilla movement, a guerrilla movement akin to the in Peru. I think that says it all. Pressure urgently needs to be exerted on this country to put an end to the assistance given to this guerrilla movement, which is destabilising this wonderful little Himalayan country and risks plunging it into chaos. Finally, it is crucial that we adopt a different policy towards this region. I would like to add one last thing concerning the Commission. This Parliament has been calling for the opening of a full delegation in Nepal for years. I think that the recent events there are, sadly, even further justification for the opening of such a delegation."@en1
