".
The Council has not discussed the legal nature of the war in Iraq and, as Mrs McKenna well knows, both the international community and the European Union Member States have held differing opinions on this issue. The Council was extremely pleased to see an end to military action and the unanimous adoption of Security Council Resolution 1483 on post-war Iraq. This is proof of a new spirit of cooperation in the international community, on which we must build the future. The Resolution and the appointment of a Special Representative in Iraq has given the United Nations an important role in the reconstruction process in Iraq, in accordance with the European Union’s own recommendations. The Union is committed to carrying out a major role precisely in the political and economic reconstruction of the country. Humanitarian assistance is already underway: the Commission and Union Member States have contributed over EUR 700 million in appropriations for humanitarian aid. In 2003, the Commission and the Secretary General/High Representative, Javier Solana, are remaining in close contact with the United Nations Special Representative in order to explore possible further European Union action precisely for post-war Iraq, so that we can help at this stage, in whatever way and unconditionally, with the Iraqi people’s immediate needs."@en1
