lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, there is no doubt that Europe must play an increasingly influential role in securing world peace. Little has been achieved thus far and more needs to be done, and here I endorse what President Prodi said regarding the common foreign and security policy. In the fight against terrorism, a great deal has already been done. Europe has decided to take action but the political support and military support too from many of the States of the Union – Italy announced yesterday the amount of troops and resources it is making available for anti-terrorist actions – will not alone suffice: the crisis in the Middle East needs to be defused. It may be that what has been termed the Marshall Plan for Palestine has not received enough attention – although it was certainly discussed at the Council. The population of Palestine has a income of USD 800 per year, whereas the income of the Israeli people is USD 18 000 per year. There is therefore a substantial difference and I feel that capital and enterprise investments are a way of ensuring lasting peace. The economic growth of the Palestinian people, who must have a State, will certainly contribute to calming a volatile situation. We will never win the war against terrorism if we do not first resolve the Middle East question. I feel that the course embarked upon by the Commission and the Council is the right one. We are also concerned – as President Prodi himself said – by the economic crisis. I regret to say that the United States has had to invest USD 150 billion to revitalise the economy. Europe appears to be concerned but is not doing enough, in our opinion, to support the economy and enterprise: this is not a question of State aid, it is a question of enabling many firms to stay in business, of preventing redundancies, particularly in the airlines sector. In the case of Alitalia, there is talk of around 5000 redundancies but all the airlines have been affected. From this point of view, if we are to safeguard employment and make it possible for a large number of firms to stay in business and grow, I feel that Europe, the Council and the Commission must increase their efforts even more."@en1
