EU to Boycott Olympics? #
March 24th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
Though I doubt it would happen, such talk’s got to worry Beijing at least a litle.
“If there continue to be no signals of compromise, I see boycott measures as justified,” Mr Poettering told Germany’s Bild am Sonntag newspaper ahead of a debate this week about Tibet at the European parliament.
The idea of European politicians boycotting the opening ceremony of the Olympics was mentioned last week by French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner, although he later backed away from the idea.
