London:The Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament has adopted a report on Kashmir incorporating recommendation that conditions for plebiscite have not been met and there cannot be a plebiscite in Kashmir.

Considered by observers as a victory for Indian diplomacy, 60 members of the committee voted in favour, one against with 11 abstaining. The report with 28 compromise proposals will now go before the plenary of the European Parliament for approval in May.

"I am very pleased indeed that we succeeded in having the vote," Baroness Emma Nicholson, Rapporteur of the report 'Kashmir: Present Situation and Future Prospects' said last evening.

"Which is resulting in a range of Confidence Building Measures that have enabled, among others, divided families to meet for the first time in 60 years - a process which I witnessed personally last summer," she said.

"The European Parliament has underscored the high value that it places on democracy and human rights for all people in the region, and particularly for earthquake victims, forced migrants, refugees and others in need in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan and Jammu and Kashmir," she said.

Some British Members of European Parliament were against the vote, she added.

"They had declared the vote will not happen, it will not happen in two months or three years and that the report will be crushed completely and I will be dismissed," said Nicholson.
