"Madam President, some time ago in this House we discussed the issue of sanctions on Iraq. I am very glad to see that the British Liberals have decided to call for a review of sanctions on Iraq. The week before last I flew to Iraq, over Turkish airspace into Baghdad, on a humanitarian mission. In the six months since I was last there, the situation has got worse. More than 5,000 children are dying every month according to UNICEF. The Commission should come to this House and address that issue. These children have nothing whatsoever to do with the conflict in the Middle East. The Commission have slavishly taken the US/British line, while the US and British and Turks continue to bomb southern Iraq. Madam President, I would like you to advise the Commission to make a statement on the issue of sanctions."@en1
