lpv:spoken text	"It is deplorable that the vested interests of America and the European Union have allowed this issue to be pushed off the international agenda and turned into an internal Russian issue, which it clearly is not. During the Irish presidency, I would like to see the Council give support to the Irish, because in the national parliament the European Affairs Committee has actually appointed a rapporteur on Russia to look at the issue of Chechnya. During the Irish presidency there will be two meetings, the first in Dublin, during the visit by the Foreign Minister, the second the EU-Russia summit to be held in May. The Council needs to put strong pressure on the European Union. We need the EU to push at Council level for unfettered international human rights monitoring of Chechnya. This issue has to be put back on the international agenda. It is completely unacceptable that over 150 000 people have died over the last decade and appalling human rights abuses are taking place. People are willing to turn a blind eye to what is going on in the interests of oil and resources."@en1
