lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to make a proposal to the Liberal Group that they withdraw this proposal and that the whole House should ask the President to make a statement on its behalf, addressed to the speakers of both Houses of the US Congress, expressing our pleasure at the decision of the Governor of Illinois. The reason is very simple: in Europe we are abolitionists and this is an issue which is even proposed as one of the Copenhagen conditions. Our colleagues in the US Congress are aware of our position, and it would be very difficult for my group to vote against the Liberal Group’s proposal for procedural reasons, since we agree with it. We believe it would be more forceful and more helpful to the abolitionist campaign in the United States if we were to express our complete agreement and support for this decision by means of a statement by the President than to invoke urgency, which may seem somewhat polemical. Since we are in complete agreement, we could maintain the urgency and, at the same time, send a constructive and positive message to the US Congress, which is a partner of ours."@en1
