lpv:translated text	". In the Netherlands, my party, the Socialist Party, supports the initiative launched by a large number of peace and development organisations to institute an arms embargo against Israel by means of a temporary injunction. This is in the light of the ever-increasing violation of human rights by the Israeli army in the occupied Palestinian territories and the destruction caused there. Parliament's resolution on the third annual report with regard to the code of conduct on arms exports is founded on the assumption that the EU's external policy is guided by values of democracy and human rights, and that arms exports may not worsen the region’s instability. Moreover, a majority voted today for the amendment in which military-industrial relations with conflicting parties in the Middle East are condemned. Meanwhile, the Dutch Schiphol airport remains the link and focal point of the arms trade between the USA and Israel. This is bound to cause enormous bitterness amongst the victims and also further instability in the region. The systematic oppression of the Palestinians gives every reason to refuse licences for the export of arms within the framework of the European code of conduct. I call on the Commission to help put an end to the escalation of violence and to support actions by citizens against Israeli violence in the Palestinian territories as a matter of urgency."@en1
