The European Parliament will hold a special debate on Kashmir in February.

This was announced by Francisco Da Camara Gomes, the Head of the European Commission delegation in New Delhi.

Gomes told media persons on Wednesday that the European Parliament had discussed last week a draft report on Kashmir prepared by Baroness Emma Nicholson, over which Pakistan had raised objections saying that it was biased in favour of India.

Terming as ridiculous the campaign against Baroness Nicholson in Pakistan, Gomes said she had prepared an 'objective and balanced' report.

He said the report may not reflect the opinion of everyone, which can be gauged from the fact that it had received 455 requests for amendments. "It can qualify for an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records and is an indicator to how lively the debate would be," Gomes said.
