"China action in sea row unacceptable." By Pia Lee-Brago (The Philippine Star) | Updated February 28, 2014 - 12:00am MANILA, Philippines - A former president and the longest serving member of the European Parliament called China’s actions in the West Philippine Sea and South China Sea “unacceptable,” and said no power should be allowed to dominate in the region. Hans-Gert Pöttering, chairman of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and member of the European Parliament representing the Christian Democratic Union (CDU Germany), said maritime disputes in the South China Sea “should be solved on the basis of international law.” “I think as Europeans we have to be very aware of the situation in the South China Sea. No power shall be dominant in this region and the relations between the concerned countries have to be peaceful,” Pöttering told The STAR. “Unilateral actions are not acceptable,” he added. “All countries have dignity and the Europeans have learned from their own history. In Europe, the law has the power and it is not the power that dictates the law. And this means that we have to respect the smaller countries too,” he stressed. Pöttering, who has been a member of the European Parliament since its adoption in 1979, was its president from 2007 to 2009. (cont'd.)........ |
