lpv:translated text	". It beggars belief that the European Parliament should, in its first statement following the invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies, adopt a recommendation which, due to the rejection of an amendment tabled by my group, fails to recall – to paraphrase our amendment – that the present unstable situation, which represents a threat to the Iraqi people and the international community, is a consequence of the unjust, illegitimate and illegal attack launched by the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries on 20 March 2003. It is unacceptable for the European Parliament to refuse, as a result of the rejection of one of our amendments, to call – and I paraphrase again – for the restitution of international law, with the immediate withdrawal of occupying foreign troops and the assumption by the United Nations of its responsibilities under the UN Charter, with a view to putting power in the hands of truly representative, legitimate and democratic institutions without delay, by holding elections to ensure that the Iraqi people regains its sovereignty. It is worth mentioning, by way of criticism, that the recommendation welcomes what it perceives as ‘the change of attitude of the Bush administration towards the more active role of the International Community’, when the real issue is, above all, dividing the costs of the occupation and the Iraqi people’s resistance to that occupation. That is why we voted against the recommendation."@en1
