"Madam President, in Laeken we also declared the European policy on security and defence (ESDP) operational. This, I believe, will enable us to conduct crisis management operations, although, it should be acknowledged and stressed, these will be only to a limited extent to begin with, until a settlement with NATO has been reached. As you know, headway was made and a solution found with Turkey and it seems to me that an agreement with Greece is also within reach. Europe and all the Member States also wish to contribute towards peace in Afghanistan. In the course of this week, the United Nations will define the mandate for an international security force for that country. As agreed in Laeken, the European Union will, in the days and weeks to come, continue its efforts to diffuse the crisis in the Middle East. A joint position between the European Union, the United States, the United Nations and the Russian Federation is absolutely essential. The European Council is convinced that the current spiral of violence can only be halted when the Israelis and Palestinians agree to call upon a third party to monitor compliance with a ceasefire. Along with Javier Solana, I will meet US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday to discuss this issue."@en1
