lpv:translated text	"Mr President, despite the differing undertones, I believe that there is a general consensus within the European Parliament and agreement on the generally positive remarks made by Mr Patten. In the few seconds available to me, I would like to stress the point raised by almost all the speakers concerning the minimal and politically weak role of Europe. Europe is being called upon to have greater involvement, not just so that it is seen to be having some part to play or so that it can steal some of the limelight from the United States but because, in my opinion, there is a pathological dimension to the US intervention, not only in the one-sided view it takes on issues concerning the Middle East and countries such as Iraq, Libya and Syria, but also in the policies it has adopted which give very little consideration to the basic principles of international law – policies which the European Union could promote much more fundamentally, aggressively and forcefully based on UN decisions adopted thus far. In this sense, I believe that certain issues, such as that of Israel’s withdrawal from the territories it has occupied since 1967, are key issues in which Europe could play its part in generating a more positive driving force."@en1
