"Mr President, since Parliament’s last resolution, the situation in Iraq has changed both for the better and for the worse. For the worse because, in effect, the situation at international level is becoming strained, and for the better because Iraq has unconditionally agreed to the UN inspections. I was in Baghdad the day before yesterday and a proposal was made to Mr Aziz, which he accepted. He also agreed that the UN inspectors could be accompanied by internationally-renowned international observers who would be respected by both parties.
This would provide a guarantee both for the United States and for Iraq, thus avoiding any games of cat and mouse. When I asked Mr Aziz if observers from the European Parliament would be welcome, he replied that he had not heard of the European Parliament. This is possibly a sign of a certain amount of nervousness on our part, even while there is hope of peace, in not sending an ad hoc mission to Iraq, and particularly in not setting ourselves up as a neutral arbiter."@en1
