lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his sterling work and focus on three paragraphs towards the end of the report. Paragraph 24 addresses the need for increased cooperation between the EU and the UN, as well as between the EU and the OSCE. In this context, I should like to take this opportunity to ask the Commissioner responsible for external relations, Mr Patten, about his view on the methods for strengthening co-operation specifically between the UN and the OSCE. I would also like to draw attention to paragraph 27 on the proliferation of light weapons and small arms and the need for a joint code of conduct for arms exports. Last but not least, I would like to focus on paragraph 28 on the significance of education as a key element in conflict prevention. It is a real shame that we cannot have a debate here between the rapporteur and us Members of the European Parliament, as I wonder what view of humanity and what ethic and morals are to form the basis for this work on conflict prevention. Is it not the case that conflict prevention and democracy ultimately rely on reconciliation, compromise and the ability of each and every one of us to tolerate a defeat? Finally, on a slightly more personal note, as a member of this Parliament I was dismayed when around 200 Members filed out as Kim Dae Jung was about to speak. One of Asia’s very greatest advocates of democracy and human rights, Kim Dae Jung has paid a very high personal price for his fight for democracy. Two hundred Members walked out when he was due to speak. This is no way to maintain the dignity of Parliament. Rather, it brought shame on this House."@en1
