lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to say a few words about the situation in Guinea-Bissau, which is extremely serious and has been dragging on for some months. The parliament was dissolved last year; the elections scheduled for April have now been postponed until July, and it is expected that they will be delayed further. The situation is extremely delicate and sensitive: the country is experiencing a general crisis – economic, financial, social, political and even military. That is why we placed Guinea-Bissau on this week’s agenda. I would like to express my regret at the discourtesy of certain groups, who proposed that Guinea-Bissau be replaced on the agenda by Zimbabwe without communicating any of this to us; I received this surprise in my office just after I arrived from Brussels. For that reason, I was unable to take the floor just now. I understand the feelings of some of my fellow Members on Zimbabwe. We have always shown our solidarity with those fellow Members over this problem, which is very serious and which we have already discussed four or five times in Parliament. It is important for us to remember, however, that Zimbabwe is not the only country with problems: other countries have them too, and we must find time to discuss them. We will reschedule this important debate for July; I would appreciate the understanding of my fellow Members. I am certain that a gesture by Parliament will be timely and effective in this very sensitive case of Guinea-Bissau."@en1
