lpv:translated text	"Mr President, what has happened to the EU’s common foreign and security policy? When, the day before yesterday, President Chirac announced the French approach within the UN, cooperation with Russia appeared to be more important than talks and deliberations with EU colleagues in the Security Council, such as Great Britain, Germany, Spain and the candidate country, Bulgaria. A month ago, the French president wagged his finger at the candidate countries and demanded a declaration of solidarity with the EU. Is there, then, not good reason now for demanding a declaration of solidarity by the French president in respect of the EU’s common foreign and security policy? Those who demand that the weapons inspectors should be given more time to enable them to find Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction lack support under UN Resolution 1441 for their declared position. On the contrary, it is Saddam Hussein’s task to produce his weapons of mass destruction and destroy them under the weapons inspectors’ supervision. If Saddam Hussein has already destroyed the weapons of mass destruction he possessed, then he must supply the weapons inspectors with documents to that effect. UN Resolution 1441 leaves no room for a game of hide and seek. Personally, I have no confidence in Saddam Hussein’s goodwill. He has repeatedly defied the UN, and he has never in actual fact complied with UN demands. There is no difficulty in diagnosing Saddam Hussein as having a severe personality disorder or being seriously disturbed psychologically. He boasts of having murdered someone for the first time when he was eleven years old. He went on to murder one of his ministers in the course of a government meeting. He has murdered those closest to him in his own family, and he has employed gas grenades to kill his own people. He suffers from megalomania comparable with that of Hitler and Stalin. The people of Iraq need alternative political leadership. Allow me to express the hope that this can be brought about without the need for recourse to war."@en1
