"Mr President, the Council and Commission statements on the Middle East have made a significant contribution to the road map to peace that was drawn up by the European Union and adopted by our partners, the United States, Russia and the UN.
We think that the progress made thus far to bring about the coexistence of two States should have aroused greater interest, but we fear that this plan will not be applied any better than previous ones, because it lacks a specific point of departure. In order to get the process off the ground, so that the Israeli army withdraws from the occupied territories, we also need the suicide attacks, which bring the whole process to a standstill, to stop once and for all. Not only do the attacks continue, but the Palestinian Authority also fails to condemn the terrorists convincingly, although they are not obviously protected.
We therefore call for a policy based on good sense, whose starting point is a – genuine – end to the half-measures currently taken against terrorists. We call for an outright condemnation of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, and for appropriate measures. And we also call for the Palestinian Authority to be reformed and to accept more responsibility, failing which, Mr President, it will be impossible for the essential dialogue to be resumed."@en1
