lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes Parliament will be adopting a resolution on the International Criminal Court for the eighth time in four years. This is evidence of Parliament’s determination and resolve in following, step by step, the slow development of an increasingly necessary international justice – as demonstrated by the cases of Milosevic, Mladic, Pinochet and so many others. They are now beginning to lose the impunity which has so far ensured that so many assassins and criminals have been able to carry on in their posts undisturbed, and even take retirement with full honours. It also demonstrates how committed Parliament is to that development, pointing the way for the European Union in many cases. I remember the early resolutions, when we called loudly for a European Union with 15 Member States united and resolute in this fight, defending the essential principles of the court: the independence of the prosecutor, the court’s autonomy in trying criminals, the definition of the purpose of the court’s mandate and so on. Those objectives have been achieved. Mrs Frassoni has rightly stressed the importance of confirming those objectives and defending the content of the statute from those who sign up to it – such as Clinton, for instance, or others – to continue to belong to the Court Assembly of Member Parties, but actually in order to influence the negotiations negatively, even seeking exemption for American soldiers. Exemption is not what is needed; what is needed is to achieve the sixtieth ratification as soon as possible. That is the real test for the fifteen. I hope the issue will be on the agenda in our relations with third countries, and I hope the seven countries of the Union which have not yet ratified the statute will do so this year."@en1
