lpv:translated text	"Madam President I would firstly like to thank Mr Morillon for the efforts he has made on this report in order to bring together the differing points of view. Our colleague, Mrs Frahm, has already explained that we cannot vote in favour of the report, despite its positive content, for three clear reasons. The first reason is our dependence on NATO, which makes the European Union into a kind of dwarf next to the American giant and it is therefore essential to establish the European Union's own personality if we are to make progress. Until we do that there will be no future for the European Union. The second reason is the need to act more firmly once the Iraq war has taken place, because we must make it abundantly clear that the danger at the moment in the world is the aggressive behaviour of the United States. The strategy document of 20 September on United States security means beginning wars all over the world. Next will be Syria, Iran, Korea, who knows? I will not give names in order not to suggest targets. This is a great threat to security. Therefore my third point is that the European Union must play a fundamental role in the democratic strengthening of the United Nations and the Security Council. Furthermore, we must work to ensure that any conflict that takes place must inevitably pass through the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council, in accordance with international law, which is exactly what the United States are not doing. This European Union contribution is a success. This is what many South American countries have told us, that, in the face of the pressure – which I believe was entirely unjustified – from President Aznar to sign up two Security Council countries to the war in Iraq, they have responded with dignity and courage and have shown Europe an example, saying that peace and international law are more important than the dangerous adventures of the United States."@en1
