lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the number of illegal immigrants in Europe is rising. Our leaders are also stepping up their use of tough language, but in my view, they have treated our electorate's concerns with contempt by failing to formulate objectives in Seville, such as a European border police force, real European migration policy with partnership agreements with the countries of origin, and genuine and prompt support for the proposals of Commissioner Vitorino. Progress has been made in European security policy. Institutional adjustments have been made, but it is still necessary for Europe to speak with one voice in establishing an EU-NATO treaty in order to be able to use the NATO assets and thus to become operational in good time. We hope that in the Council’s Foreign Affairs club, both the ministers of Development and Cooperation and the Defence ministers will be meeting with each other regularly and visibly to demonstrate that Europe’s security policy places great emphasis on conflict prevention and fighting poverty in the interest of a more stable world. Our draft resolution of Parliament refers to the Council, Foreign Affairs, as well as Development and Cooperation. This is the title which we warmly recommend. In the Middle East, we now want to focus all our attention on the international conference. Our PSE Group stresses that it should be the Palestinian people who decide on their leadership, and not President Bush, but we deeply regret that hundreds of Europeans who wanted to support the peace process were denied access to Israel, and we continue to call for a political dialogue involving two states, Israel and the Palestine, which are both safe and both democratic. The spiral of violence, from whichever corner, is always ultimately at the expense of the desire for peace that we all share As for EU-Russia relations, we support the progress made. In addition, Kaliningrad must consider the Schengen Agreements as a framework for a solution. Joint EU-Russian border control could be a first step. The PSE Group expresses grave concern about India and Pakistan. The EU and the Member States must make far greater efforts in the field of de-escalation. Pakistan must comply with Resolution 1373 of the Security Council, the infiltration has to stop and we need a bilateral approach in this area, also involving India. The EU could act as the facilitator in this. May we hope that we will work in a multilateral manner, in contrast to the unilateral deviations of our US allies."@en1
