lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as observers of the elections in Palestine we can say that, to all intents and purposes, a proud young democracy is being born there. During our mission we saw that the people of Palestine have a strong desire for freedom and are looking forward to a return to normality and peace. Despite the violence of recent weeks, the presidential elections have indeed ushered in a new scenario in the Middle East and have set an example to the whole Arab world. For that very reason, the European Union must now take a central role and do all it can to support the peace process, first of all by relaunching the roadmap, which is still the starting point for resuming negotiations. In that respect, this morning’s news that talks between the Palestinian National Authority and Israel are reopening augurs well. The first major event in the new peace process will be the London Conference, to be held in March; security, the consolidation of democracy, and political, institutional and economic reforms in Palestine will be on the agenda. Europe will at last have an opportunity to exercise its authority in the peace process and also, I believe, to put forward an economic programme to foster development. We are surprised to hear it said sometimes that action of that kind would be premature and that the European Union would not be prepared to support it. On the contrary, this is precisely the time for the Union to take the political centre stage with concrete action to support the development of the Palestinian economy, by means of an EU-monitored programme characterised as a new Marshall Plan for Palestine, as was proposed by Italy the day after 11 September and recently put forward again by the United Kingdom. I also believe that that is the way for Palestine to escape from the poverty and marginalisation that all too often swell the ranks of fundamentalism."@en1
