Official Journal C 280 , 25/09/1996 P. 0093


WRITTEN QUESTION E-0862/96 by Christine Crawley (PSE) to the Commission (12 April 1996)

Subject: Sri Lanka

Would the Commission report on the outcome of its talks at the EU-Asia meeting and whether the question of human rights abuses in Sri Lanka was raised?

Answer given by Mr Marín on behalf of the Commission (7 May 1996)

The Commission has already reported to Parliament on 12 March 1996 on the outcome of the Bangkok meeting. The text of President Santer's speech will be forwarded to the Honourable Member immediately, as well as to the Secretariat-General of the Parliament.

While the question of human rights was indeed raised, the specific case of human rights in Sri Lanka was not mentioned given that this country did not take part in the talks.
