".
President, this is a serious and balanced report which is a credit to our rapporteur, Mr. Menéndez del Valle. As the European Parliament must always do, it rejects violence on all sides, as the only way of supporting the Road Map for peace in the Middle East. British Labour Euro MPs give our wholehearted support to this process, and to Parliament's vote today.
We abstained on two technical points only. Yes, we believe both sides must honour the association agreements with ourselves in the European Union, but we do not believe the threat of quick suspension of those agreements is a constructive step at this stage. Equally, although we do not rule out a United Nations peacekeeping force at some future point, we believe it is unrealistic to call for one at this point, which would clearly not obtain agreement within the region itself.
This does not detract from an important piece of political work, and the European Parliament can be proud of the contribution we are making today to support peace, justice and security for Israel and the Palestine."@en1
