lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would firstly like to state that the majority of Members in our Group are in favour of this excellent report by Mr Lagendijk. However, there is an issue which affects the very essence of this report: September 11. There is a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ September 11, which brings to light the weaknesses in this fundamentally important approach which the EU has taken towards conflict prevention. I think that we should make it very clear that we need more information on those secret services, which, taking as an example those of the United States, have been supporting a State, such as the Taliban in Afghanistan, which have later become a public enemy of the whole world. There is another issue of great importance, which also appears in the Lagendijk report, which has not been mentioned until now: that either the European Union chooses to give its wholehearted support to the United Nations and the efforts of the UN to use international law to resolve conflicts, or it will continue to be the world superpower, the United States, that makes the most important decisions and we Europeans will be virtually powerless, only able to put on tiny sticking plasters to cover the wounds that have been inflicted. This is the reason why it is important that we implement what is set out in the Lagendijk report. Another aspect I would like to mention is the importance of the economic dimension, which, there can be no doubt, is the cause of many conflicts, and we have to see this also in a global perspective. For this reason, we have to clarify certain statements, because sometimes wide-scale liberalisation can be a greater evil than the possibility of protection."@en1
