lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this morning, listening to Mr Patten, I was struck by the fact that he stated that, at the end of his five years in office as a Commissioner, he considered the international situation to be more dangerous than it was five years ago. I share this view. Perhaps more emphasis should be given than has been given in this resolution to the fact that one of the aspects of this dangerousness is the policy of unilateralism and, above all, the new American doctrine with regard to unilateralism. I believe that this aspect is largely lacking in the motion for a resolution. This is why we support most of the amendments submitted. I shall take three extremely relevant examples of expectations with respect to the EU. In the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, we actually heard Messrs Burg and Abed-Rabbo yesterday. There was a very explicit request that the European Union and the ministers of foreign affairs should give far more support than they have in the past to the Geneva initiative. There was also a request that the European Union should be proactive in the support of independent organisations, under international control, in Palestine. These points should be clearly stated in our draft resolution. Finally, I should also like the European Union to give more consideration to international studies. Some have been quoted. A report was published this summer under the aegis of the International Labour Organisation making practical proposals relating to good economic governance and the rules with respect to globalisation. If we do not understand that, as has often been said in this House and as Commissioner Patten has also often repeated, the struggle against poverty is one of the fundamental aspects of the war on terrorism and if we do not follow the recommendations of international reports to which we ourselves contribute, we shall lose all credibility. It is this type of message which the Bush administration must also be made to hear."@en1
