lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the attitude of the Council towards the Middle East is characterised by extreme leniency. This is, without doubt, because of the unanimity of opinion. Every day, for many weeks now, the International Red Cross, Amnesty International, Médecins sans Frontières, the United Nations agencies, as well as the Israeli and European NGOs that are present on the ground have all been telling us and telling you, Mr Solana, that serious breaches of human rights and humanitarian law have been committed in occupied Palestine and that the conduct of the Israeli army is unacceptable. In a sickening act of vandalism, human excrement was smeared and urine was poured over the shredded files and ransacked offices of the Palestinian Ministry of Culture in Ramallah. Despite this outbreak of brutalities, the Council has not taken into consideration our resolution of 10 April which calls for the suspension of the Association Agreement with Israel. The Council has not yet ordered the embargo on arms exports to Israel, which is a flagrant breach of the 1998 Code of Conduct, in which the Member States banned arms exports to regions in crisis. What is worse, unlike the President of the Commission, who clearly explained his views on this subject, the Council has not formally protested against the UN Secretary-General’s withdrawal of the investigation team into the Jenin massacre. This is a dark moment in the history of the United Nations, which is unacceptable in law, unacceptable in actual fact. MEPs would have preferred to see their ministers on the front line making Mr Sharon give in to the requirements of international law. Through the Association Agreement, Mr Solana, you have the means to make yourself heard. If you sit back and do nothing, you must not be surprised if violence prevails over law in the Middle East and throughout the world."@en1
