lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as regular as clockwork, we make high-flown statements and condemn the violence in the Middle East. Is that really all we can manage to do? Why can the European Union not play a more active role in this conflict? Right now, there are various reasons why the European Union should be playing a pioneering role in the peace process. Sadly, recent events have made a further radicalisation between Israel and the Palestinians more than likely. The status of the United States as a good international negotiator has been dealt a few serious blows after Afghanistan and Iraq. The implementation of the international step-by-step plan appears a long way off, so the European Union should act. Peace and stability are entirely in its interest. After all, we are the region's largest trading partner and the largest donor of humanitarian and financial aid. When will our words at last be followed by deeds?"@en1
