"Mr President, representatives of the Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to join previous speakers in expressing my concern over the physical and moral siege that the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat, is currently experiencing. It is clear that this policy does not contribute either to reducing terrorist activity – but rather, on the contrary, stimulates and increases it – or to democratising the Palestinian National Authority, which had been planning legislative and presidential elections for January next year, nor does it contribute to finding safety valves to put an end to the damaging situation that this region is currently experiencing. Mr President, I believe we must ask the President-in-Office of the Council to request, clearly and convincingly, a resolution to this situation. This resolution must necessarily involve the lifting of the siege of the President of the Palestinian National Authority and compliance with the United Nations resolutions. The European Union, Mr President, must demand, clearly and convincingly, that the United Nations resolutions be complied with. Mr President, a truce allowing the Palestinian National Authority to control terrorist activity is also essential. It is ludicrous to say that the President of the Palestinian National Authority should control Palestinian terrorist activity when at the moment he is fighting just to survive. I also consider it absolutely essential to establish a series of measures aimed at ending Israeli military oppression, which is causing countless casualties, most of whom are civilians. It is clear, Mr President, that only on the basis of these premises will the initiatives of the Quartet, a peace conference for the region and the European Union’s desire for peace, understanding, concord and reconciliation prevail in the region."@en1
