lpv:translated text	"Prime Minister, your presidency, which was already reasonably complex, is certainly being tested by the attacks in the United States. Do not, therefore, take any notice of people who say that a meeting of three of your colleagues immediately before the summit was a put-down. Such a meeting is, of course, never pleasant for a presidency, but it proves at the same time how desperately we need a European framework within which external security, conflict prevention, our diplomacy, but also our internal security, legal and police cooperation can be regulated. That is important for small Member States such as ours. However, it is apparently difficult for everyone to understand that if one considers the Union after 11 September, it is, in fact, only small EU Member States that have taken any individual action. You did not get sidetracked in Ghent. I would ask you to ensure that this convention – the mere fact that we now have an agreement on this is already quite an achievement for the presidency – is given the appropriate assignments in Laeken. I should like to say this about Afghanistan: humanitarian aid is only possible if the Taliban regime is removed from power and unfortunately, we need war for this. And finally, thousands of people were able to protest in Ghent without any incidents. It has not always been like that. In my opinion, we should draw attention to this for a change."@en1
