Mr Alavanos, I cannot agree with what you just said in your last sentence on Mr Kouchner’s responsibilities, and I would like to make two very important points here. The structure being implemented in Kosovo is under the auspices of the United Nations. It is a structure to which the European Union has given as much support as it can and to which the countries of the European Union have contributed in various ways.
There is one thing, however, that we cannot deny, and that is that Mr Kouchner’s efforts to return Kosovo’s internal situation to normal have been extremely positive. This is undeniable, even if you – or indeed we – consider that some of the results of these efforts, for reasons beyond Mr Kouchner’s control, have not been as effective as we would all have liked them to be.
I have one last point to make, which is about the European Union’s responsibility and, specifically, in this case, about possible action by the Council in this matter, and the responsibility of the international community, which has overall responsibility for the situation in Kosovo. Therefore, the responsibility of the European Union has to be seen in a certain context. It is the international community, and specifically the United Nations, which should be held responsible for implementing Resolution 12/99 and, in particular, for the thinking behind this resolution and for the compatibility of this resolution with reality.
These are questions which we should all be asking, but the forum for putting these questions is the United Nations."@en1
