lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, Mr President, I am happy to be closing this discussion. I would just like to say to my good friend Philippe Morillon, ‘Philippe, you are wrong. All your amendments are misguided. And I believe that you should think about them tonight and withdraw these amendments as soon as you wake up tomorrow. Most of them have already been withdrawn? Well then, withdraw the rest! We will all be happy!’ Why? Because it is obvious that we must exercise our right to intervene. The Algerians exercise this right to interfere in our affairs when they say that our immigration policy is not right, that they do not have enough visas, etc. They have the right to participate in European discussions. If there is an association agreement, then we have not only the right but also the duty to intervene when massacres are committed. We must condemn massacres, whether they are committed by Islamic terrorists, paramilitary terrorists or other terrorists linked to some armed service. We do not have the right to allow the Algerian embassy to dictate resolutions or amendments to us. That is not our role. Here our role is to establish an association agreement, on the one hand, and on the other, to intervene politically in discussions in Algeria, so that Algeria can emerge as a democracy. And this is not just the fault of colonialism, though colonialism does have its faults. Algeria has a single party tradition. Algeria has a tradition of military power where the military stands above society and it is the military that commits both good and evil acts. This has to change and it is exactly what we are trying to say in the resolution tabled by your colleague Mr Brok, and which many Members voted for. And I ask that tomorrow we change nothing in this resolution of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy which is not a resolution of the left, but a resolution by Mr Brok, a member of the PPE-DE. Let us adopt this resolution. Let us vote for it as it stands and we will all be happy."@en1
