"Mr President, Europe cannot try to define the political prospects of the Middle East while ignoring certain realities, even though these may be disagreeable. On 1 January 2000, Iran demanded the dissolution of the Israeli State. This echoed the demand made by Mr Gaddafi who Mr Prodi is, however, intending to meet in the near future. This would be a mistake. It seems to me that the goal of the dissolution of the Jewish State has an underlying aim of the destruction of the Jewish people. We all sincerely hope that peace can be achieved with Iran and certainly not against or without this great country.
Yet, I would remind you that standing between Europe and Iran are the 13 imprisoned Jews about whom we know virtually nothing other than that their lives are in jeopardy. We have taken steps to help them and will continue to do so. Finally, we cannot continue to read in the press, without reacting, that European public funds may be being used irregularly in Palestine and not as intended.
Peace will be achieved on the basis of economic and cultural development and it is to this alone that Community funds must be allocated. I would ask the Commission to set up an assessment mission to report to Parliament within six months."@en1
