"I am truly satisfied with Mr Howitt's report which I believe is exceptional in the way it does not distinguish between large and small States and treat them under equal standards. However, in my opinion the paragraph on China lacks some highlighting of the Tibet problems. Tibet, as we know, was occupied by China, but for some reason we have recognised it as an inseparable part of China. China is committing genocide against the Tibetan people, but nowhere have we even mentioned that. The fact alone that each year around 3 000 children, and I stress children, escape to India via the Himalayas and Nepal just so that they can learn their own language, is worthy of notice. The Tibetan nation and its culture are being extinguished right in front of our eyes. For Tibetans even cultural autonomy is an unattainable dream, and negotiations about this between the representatives of the Dalai Lama and China are fictitious, as being conducted on the expert not on the principle level. I believe that we must change our position in respect of Tibet, if we really do not want to see the Tibetan people and their culture destroyed."@en1
