lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I consider it a positive sign that there have been remonstrations against Turkey but I would also like to stress my disappointment that what Turkey is doing to the detriment of merchant fleets around the world, including the merchant fleets of the European Union, is being played down. Since Turkey has taken no direct action, it is in violation of international law, the rules of free navigation and the treaties of the European Union. What Turkey is in fact doing is prohibiting vessels proceeding from Cypriot ports from approaching Turkish ports. This does not just refer to vessels which are actually from Cyprus or Greece, which would have roused particular interest, but it also refers to European Union vessels. I would like to ask what response Turkey gave to the European Union’s remonstrations and if it gave no response at all, why then does it not take the matter to the International Court in the Hague? I also wonder why the European Union is prepared to tolerate such unlawfulness and harm the interests of European shipping for a country which does not even have any qualms about threatening a superpower, i.e. the United States, just to defend its banana trade."@en1
