    WRITTEN QUESTION E-2558/97 by Richard Balfe (PSE) to the Council (28 July 1997)

    Subject: Sri Lanka

    Will the Council update its declaration on behalf of the European Union on Sri Lanka, released on 17 April 1997, in the light of recent developments in that country?

    Answer (26 November 1997)

    The European Union is closely monitoring developments in the political situation in Sri Lanka and makes its position known, where appropriate, by means of declarations and démarches.

    In its Declaration of 17 April 1997, the European Union welcomed the exchange of letters between the President of Sri Lanka and the leader of the opposition on a bipartisan approach to the ethnic conflict in that country.

    The European Union continues to support this constructive approach and hopes that it will contribute to an ending of confrontational politics in Sri Lanka, in particular through the conclusion of a national agreement.

    The European Union remains ready to assist reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts as soon as this becomes possible.
