lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the situation in the Central African Republic has, once again, just grown worse and several hundred people have been killed in the wake of the attempted coup and the consequent repression. This crisis is, once again, striking a population that has suffered from tribal fighting in a country blighted for decades by a serious economic crisis, as Mr Haarder has just reminded us. This crisis is all the more worrying because it has led to the intervention of foreign armed forces and militias, which is exactly what happened in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is in danger of plunging the Central African Republic into a similar chaos, which will create even greater suffering. Faced with this tragedy, the European Union cannot turn a blind eye. It does not have to return to a policy of interference, but must simply not give in to the temptation of indifference. The resolution, which is soon to be put to the vote in this House, expresses our compassion and condemns this return to violence. The European Union has the duty to do more, by increasing humanitarian aid, of course, and mainly by closely allying itself with the efforts of the United Nations to establish a climate of reconciliation. I feel that these efforts would be made easier, to a great extent, if a corps of peacekeepers were deployed in the country, similar to the one which played a positive role between 1998 and last February. We have suggested this in our proposal for a resolution, which the Group of the European People’s Party will give their unreserved support."@en1
