From Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne MEP.

Sir, Your article on Kashmir ("Political wrangles dim the prospect of a deal with India", May 29) is timely. Last week, for the first time, the European parliament adopted a formal position on Kashmir. The resolution, passed with an overwhelming majority of 522 votes to nine, strongly supports the current peace process, but also urges that "great efforts should be made by the governments of India and Pakistan to involve Kashmiris in the resolution of the core issues".
