lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think we owe a great deal to the man behind this resolution, General Morillon. It is an important resolution because Afghanistan and its desperately suffering people, and especially its children who are blown up by mines and its women who face appalling discrimination, deserve far more attention from us. Thanks to this motion for a resolution, which has found broad consensus, Parliament is taking a firm position. As the resolution states, the fundamental political challenge is to put pressure on Afghanistan’s large neighbour, Pakistan, as a means of trying to influence the situation in Afghanistan, I would also add the other large neighbour, the People’s Republic of China, with which Pakistan has excellent relations and collaborates at military and nuclear level. We also know that there is extensive cooperation between those two big countries, Pakistan and the People’s Republic of China, at the level of the political and the local mafia as regards drug trafficking. We know Afghanistan is not far away, and we know it is the world’s largest producer of opiates, so we can well imagine the role played by these political mafias, which are not necessarily simply political, in the expansion of the drug trade. We also know that the policy of the United Nations, especially that of UNDCP and Mr Arlacchi, is a disaster. Despite the millions of dollars invested in Afghanistan in the course of the last few years, production has doubled. To summarise, I think pressure needs to be exerted on Pakistan and the People’s Republic of China, all funding needs to be withdrawn from Mr Arlacchi and UNDCP so that these prohibitionist policies on drugs do not end up encouraging production and trade in drugs, because that is what is happening now."@en1
