lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am a Basque and I belong to the Basque Nationalist party. However, firstly, I congratulate the leaders, political parties, intermediaries and, in particular, the people of Britain and Ireland, on having found a road to peace by all giving ground on their original positions. I, too, join in the condemnation expressed by this European Parliament with regard to ETA’s abandonment of the truce. I can confirm my total rejection of the use of violence to achieve political aims. However, I must also say very firmly that we have a problem in the Basque Country for we are in political conflict with the Spanish State. From this Parliament I call on the Spanish Government and the Spanish political parties to have the same tolerance as the British and Irish so that we can all find the road to peace and a solution to the Basque conflict which is as much a European matter as the Irish conflict. We Basques want peace and we want to find a lasting solution which is acceptable to everyone. However, to achieve this, we must all make an effort to find common ground for the future and for peace."@en1
