The resolution submitted to the parliament of the European Union asks for an "open and independent investigation on the recent turmoil and repression in Tibet, to be carried out under the auspices of the United Nations". On the other hand, the text confirms that the setting up of the Olympic Games in Beijing is "an extraordinary opportunity to open up to the world" for China, however demonstrating "that this country is able to keep its promises in relation to the promotion of the fundamental rights for all Chinese, with no distinctions". The resolution "pays homage to the fact that the Dalai Lama invited the Tibetan people to protest peacefully, he rejected requests for Tibet’s independence, and proposed a compromise solution pursuing real cultural and political independence, as well as freedom of religion"; the resolution asks Chinese authorities to open up Tibet to the foreign press and diplomats. Then, it invites the current presidency of the European Union to make efforts to find out a common position for the 27 member states in relation to the participation of state and government leaders in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, "with possible participation rejection in case the Chinese authorities wouldn’t resume dialogue with his holiness, the Dalai Lama".
