"Madam President, I had the opportunity to express my views on this matter before the Conference of Presidents meeting. I do not feel that now is the time to argue about this, or to have a dispute over procedure. In my view, I am extremely pleased that the Conference of Presidents had virtually unanimously agreed to award the Sakharov Prize to Mr Ghazzawi and to Mrs Peled-Elhanan, who, to my mind, symbolise what many of us aspire to, in other words, to give hope to those who wish to find the path of dialogue and peace in the Middle East, a region that has been so afflicted.
From this point of view, Madam President, I think that, and the European Council also gave this message, in other words, that we request Ariel Sharon’s government to respect international law and withdraw his tanks and troops as a matter of urgency from the autonomous Palestinian territories, I think that it would certainly be in the spirit of the Sakharov Prize for you, Madam President, if you agree, to give this message to the Israeli government on our behalf. Thank you, Madam President."@en1
