". My position on the Iraqi conflict is clearly expressed in the speech I gave in yesterday’s plenary sitting. An explanation of my vote is nevertheless needed, which I can only give through this statement. Both the PPE-DE and the UEN felt it was necessary to table a set of proposals for amendments to the compromise resolution in order to balance the call for the conflict’s peaceful resolution, with which of course we agree, with maintaining adequate pressure by the international community, specifically the European Parliament, on the Iraqi regime, which we believe is a basic requirement for achieving this goal. To be specific, we did not feel we could vote for a resolution that ignored Iraq’s ongoing and serious breaches of the UN resolutions, or which did not mention the fact that what is at stake in this argument is guaranteeing the preservation of international peace and security, or even linking the Iraqi regime to international terrorism and to the real danger that terrorist groups could be the recipients of arms of mass destruction produced in that country."@en1
