NEW DELHI: The European Union is engaged in an intensive internal debate on whether or not to ban the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
European diplomats have told this correspondent that the issue will remain under discussion till a decision is reached.
The diplomats, however, stated that there was some resistance from within the E.U. to formally ban the Tigers, with some arguing that a high level of proof was needed. Also, the point being made was that there would be no scope to engage with a "banned" organisation.
