lpv:translated text	". This resolution comes at a crucial time for world peace, in view of the imminent attack on Iraq. The European Parliament feels the need to take a stand once again on this issue, expressing its full support for the militaristic policy of the EU, naming the ‘fight against terrorism’ as the main objective of the European security and defence policy and calling for full and fast implementation of the European terrorism law and other autocratic measures by the Member States. It fully espouses the American interpretation of the events of 11 September, endorsing statements on the global threat of terrorism and lending credence to propaganda about attacks on Iraq or anywhere else. More to the point, the resolution states that ΝΑΤΟ is instrumental to Euro-Atlantic stability and openly supports the new ΝΑΤΟ doctrine, orientated as it is towards the fight against ‘terrorism’. Of course, it does not fail to put the EU on a par with the USA in its role as global policeman, accusing the USA of unilateralism. Against this background, statements about respecting the rule of law, freedom and democracy ring extremely hollow. We consider the reference to the UN Charter to be both extremely dangerous and revealing, accompanied as it is by the view that 11 September was a case of armed attack. That is why the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the resolution."@en1
