lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, overwhelmed by the tragic events in Rwanda, Belgium adopted a law some time ago which makes it possible to punish the people behind genocide on its own territory. However, this is only one piece of legislation. We require international Rule of Law in which the International Criminal Court features as a fundamental keystone. This is with reference to the United States and various incidents which illustrate that the United States is pulling out of joint commitments which we want to embrace. The Commissioner has called for a dialogue with our US colleagues. I should like to address the President of this Parliament. I am worried about the increasing degree to which the parliaments in Europe and the American Parliament and American opinion seem to be growing apart. Might it not be a useful suggestion to send our delegation for relations with the United States, or a special committee, to the US Congress in order to talk about these issues? We can, of course, also hope that we can make ground by ridiculing their somewhat exaggerated attitude. However, I take the view that we can achieve better results with formal action, and better results are what we need."@en1
