The LTTE should disarm and come to the negotiations table for a peaceful solution as terrorism has no place or legacy anywhere in the world, the visiting European Parliament delegation leader Robert Evans said.
Addressing the media yesterday at the Hilton Residence, Evans said they were in Sri Lanka to share their experience and look into possible ways for a peaceful solution to the conflict.
Building an institutional mechanism where the Government and the LTTE can come to a peaceful solution is the EU s aim, he added.
Evans said the LTTE should agree to a long-term truce.
The European MPs are fully aware that Sri Lanka is involved in the fight against terrorism. It should be defeated for the development of the country, he added.
The EU would support efforts to reform the country s political structure in a way that reconciles the three communities under a constitutional framework, he added.
Evans said all political parties should be involved in discussions to find a long-lasting peaceful political solution to the conflict.
The TMVP led by the Karuna faction entering political mainstream is a great achievement. The Eastern development process after the PC election is another challenge that the Government could face.
The Tamil National Alliance should take part in the All Party Representative Committee. We also appreciate APRC Chairman Prof. Tissa Vitharana s attempts to make the APRC live up to its name, he added.
Commenting on GSP+, Evans said they held discussions and meetings with Export Development and International Trade Minister Prof. G.L.Peiris and stressed the need to address 27 conventions to gain GSP+.
The GSP+ issue is debatable but I am confident that Sri Lanka is capable of addressing the conventions and gaining the GSP+ to develop the economy and employment, he said.

Is it APRC or SPRC?
We also appreciate APRC Chairman Prof. Tissa Vitharana s attempts to make the APRC live up to its name, he added.
Sinhalese extremists were invited whereas TNA with 22 Tamil MPs was not.
This is a Sinhalese Party Representative Committee. |

EU wanted the APRC to live up to its name not to be an SPRC. No disarming is mentioned in the Daily Mirror news but Govt propagandists dream day and night and then hallucinate.
Govt said to EU that 100 military personnel were found guilty of human rights abuses and waiting to be punished but when asked for evidence the govt claimed they deserted the SLDF. Under this racist govt anything is possible.

Daily News glasses were blurred. Read the truth
The MEP also said that though the TMVP had joined the democratic mainstream, they were also reported to be recruiting child soldiers.
The MEP expressed concerns over 'the lack of a timetable for weapons decommissioning.' |

Tiger disarming will never happen as long as VP is in Lanka.
If he disarms-
? How can he preserve his 'godly' stature
? How can he get tamils to bow down to him
? How can he survive from all the other tamils whom he tried to kill
? Simply how can he survive as he doesn't have a brain to argue and win over people, pointing the gun at others is the only way he knows |

The people of Sri Lanka are extremely skeptical about these EU types....coming into the country.
The people want the Govt. to do highly detailed investigations about the political/job history of Each and Every 'Suddha' before they set foot in Sri Lanka.
The People of Sri Lanka feel that the Tiger Diaspora will send a 'white' Suicide Bomber who will take the live's of say, the Army Commandor or the Defense Secretary.. |

we have heard this before , say something original like 'gosl should lay down arms and come for peace talks'. better still, shut up. EU has done enough damage - banning the ltte thereby starting this phase of the war.
actually it's not too late to make amends, impose sanctions, cut off all aid and withdraw gsp+
