lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the humanitarian situation was appalling prior to the war in Iraq because of the embargo. It is now disastrous. We have all been aware of that for a long time, however. It is not news. When our delegation of 31 Members of the European Parliament went to Baghdad two months ago, we met the UN agencies, who warned us. Their representatives told us that, if there was a war, the situation would be disastrous. I am therefore very pleased to say that the UN did not wait for Europe’s support to address the humanitarian situation. I consequently believe that Europe, which was unable to condemn this war and call for it to be brought to an end, should not try to salve its conscience by debating the humanitarian situation in this House. Of course, we should shoulder our responsibilities, but there is no point in making a much overdue statement on this issue. I am therefore against such a statement."@en1
