lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the last time we spoke about the Moluccas in this House, I said that, this time, we were talking about the Moluccas, but that I feared that soon, we would be talking about other parts of Indonesia. Just to make it clear, this was not to devalue the specific discussion and the specific problems in the Moluccas at the time, but an analysis of the problem in Indonesia which goes far beyond the issue of the Moluccas and which is very deep-rooted and structural. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was right. The most recent reports now indicate that the worst atrocities are taking place on Lombok, scenes which remind us of the Moluccas and other places in Indonesia where conflict broke out, and that the next hotbeds of unrest are already revealing themselves, for example on Sulawesi. All this is the result of, among other things, hate campaigns orchestrated even by the chairman of the legislative meeting, among others. President Wahid’s reaction, however, is encouraging. In my opinion, it would be beneficial if the European Parliament were to support him in his fight against intolerance and for a moderate, liberal form of Islam, but also, in particular, in his fight against large sections of the army, the army which does not take sufficient action against troublemakers and even refuses to account for its own role on East Timor, for example. What I fail to grasp, however, is how President Wahib would benefit from the resumption of arms supplies. The EU has all kinds of means to influence the process in Indonesia. One of the Members has already listed them: observers, humanitarian aid. But this also includes – with a special appeal to the Member States – an arms embargo. What is needed in Indonesia is for the role of the army to be suppressed, not to be reinforced by supplying more weapons."@en1
