lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, for two years, the Union for Europe of the Nations Group has been calling upon Parliament and the Commission to adopt a position on the Somali situation with regard to the most urgent issues: the renewed terrorist activities of groups such as Al-Itihad; the constant pressure on the people from organised fundamentalist groups; the threat of fresh terrorist action against other countries, borne out by the fact that Somalia was recently the base for the attacks in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam; the worrying internal political situation, which reflects the ambiguous position of figures connected with what is known as the Transitional National Government with regard to rejecting terrorism; the repeated requests from other Somali regions – Puntland and Somaliland – for national reconciliation through the creation of a federal State; and the hunger and distress of the entire population because of the shortage of food. The motion for a resolution, signed today by some of the political groups, does not take into account what we said in our motion, nor does it address the issues we condemned in questions to the Commission and the Council. It calls upon the European Union to support the Transitional National Government, despite the fact that the government was not democratically elected and that the task of this same Nairobi Conference, which has already been put back from April to July, should be to define the new institutional system and lay down new conditions to ensure that the peace and normalisation process is accompanied by measures to combat terrorism and population aid. For these reasons, and we are increasingly concerned by the situation in the different Somali regions, the threat of terrorism, the political inaccuracy of the authors of the joint resolution which reveals a disturbing lack of awareness of the facts of the Somali and African situations – I heard someone mention a war in Kenya and there has been no war in Kenya since the time of Kenyatta – and the consequent risks both for the local population and for all the other countries, Europe included, we will vote against a resolution which seeks to take the place of the Nairobi Conference or, in any case, to dictate its outcome."@en1
