lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is good to remind ourselves that at the moment there are many people listening other than those in this House. I should like to congratulate Mr Lagendijk, precisely on this symbolic day when we awarded the Sakharov Prize to peace activists from Israel, Palestine and Angola. In my opinion, by broadening our horizons, we retain a sense of realism. We must assess our present actions in the Middle East and Africa, with three million victims in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and we will need to evaluate what we need to do in Afghanistan. We must avoid conflicts, conflicts that become militarised or that flare up again. This requires an integral approach, as has already been underlined by many fellow MEPs. In my one and a half minutes, I should particularly like to draw your attention to one aspect in the report, namely the Civil Peace Corps. Commissioner Patten, I really expect you to come up with an initiative. I am amazed at how much money and how many people can be mobilised over the course of a few months to start a war. Could we not work in an equally focused manner, deploy as many resources, people, when it comes to keeping the peace and preventing war? And that is why I applaud this Civil Peace Corps. The funding and the framework are in place. If the political will is there, then what are we waiting for!"@en1
