China: Letter to Harry Wu

Brussels, August 22, 1997

Dear Mr. Wu,

due to an unfortunate organizational hitch, I did not have the opportunity to spend more time with you after your speech at the European Parliament's sub-committee hearing on human rights. I do not intend to dwell on neither the speech that you delivered on that occasion, which I followed with great interest, nor your books, which have been very important for me.

Fortunately, the delay which obstructed my proposal of this initiative to you has allowed me to clear up certain matters in question.

As I mentioned during the hearing, the European Union has stipulated preferential accords with many nations with which it has commercial ties. These accords fall under a category entitled the "System of Generalized Preferences" (SPG). This system can be compared to the "Most Favored Nation Status" clause used by the United States.

For the first time, the European Union recently decided to suspend its preferential agreement with Burma. Although we must consider the situation of that country, and the type and extent (quite little) of its economic and commercial ties with the European Union, this fact represents a very important precedent.

My proposal is to attempt a similar initiative against the People's Republic of China. As you will understand while reading the answer given by the european Commissioner Marin to one of my latest written questions, the procedure is as exacting as it is lengthy to establish. But I am convinced that it could, whatever its result, trigger a series of interesting mechanisms.

In essence, what I am proposing to you is an initiative promoted by the Laogai Research Foundation, the Transnational Radical Party, and Human Rights In China, with the aim of starting the course that will lead to the suspension of the System of Generalized Preferences with China.

Hoping that you will find this proposal interesting, and remaining at your complete disposal, please accept my best regards.

Olivier Dupuis

p.s.: please find enclosed the text of my written question and the answer of the Commission.
