lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is extremely sad that the way in which we, here in the European Parliament, are celebrating the 200th anniversary of Haiti’s break with oppression and slavery is with a statement about the drastic situation in the country. I must not use my speaking time to repeat everything that my fellow MEPs have said about President Aristide. Historic injustices are difficult to remedy, and reconstruction of a country demands not only the right leader but also the right institutions to control him. A number of things have gone completely wrong in Haiti. Neither Parliament, the courts nor the police function, and there are daily reports of serious human rights violations. The most basic right, that to food, is being violated to a quite incredible degree. Half the population is starving, and 23% of all Haitian children under five suffer from chronic malnutrition, factors that are a direct threat to Haiti’s prospects. The EU and the international community cannot, and should not, look on silently. The humanitarian aid must correspond to the Haitian population’s real needs, and the strongest possible political pressure should be exercised to get the parties to enter into dialogue and work towards a political solution. A political solution is the only way of reintroducing a system providing legal certainty and respect for human rights, and the only option for solving the structural problems that have brought Haiti to the brink of famine."@en1
