lpv:spoken text	"Thank you for agreeing to take the question. I am certainly taken aback by the President-in-Office's response. The fact is that the sanctions were imposed by the Council. I cannot see how the Council can now wash its hands of at least discussing the possibility of lifting those sanctions. I should like to ask the President-in-Office if he is aware that recent public opinion polls in Austria indicate that over 80% of Austrian citizens want to see the sanctions lifted. How then can the Council continue to ignore the democratic decision of the Austrian people? Does the President-in-Office not agree that failure to lift the sanctions now is undermining the democratic foundations on which this Union was established? I would ask him to give this House this evening an assurance that he will use his undoubted influence to have the matter discussed at the summit in your country next week. Certainly, what is happening does not reflect the European aspiration to unity. I am extremely disappointed that the Council, in this way, would want to wash its hands of what is a very serious matter."@en1
