lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, those who were present at this election, on a day which started with the transparent ballot boxes being meticulously sealed at seven in the morning and continued with everything being conducted with a great deal of pride and precision, can well imagine what that all meant for the Palestinian people themselves, in terms firstly, of course, of their relations with Israel, and secondly of their relations with the Arab world, for they gave a demonstration of something that is wholly unknown there. That is what made this election so significant, and the desire for peace was tangible; people have had enough of conflict, and Hamas and its call for a boycott were ignored. I think that all those – and there were some of them in this House – who have constantly been telling us that it was Arafat who guaranteed peace and that when he was no longer there, the situation would descend into chaos, misjudged the situation. The people of Palestine were much more astute than some of the European analysts of the situation thought they would be, and that is why there are such great hopes riding on what is happening there now. There is something I would ask both Mr Solana and Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner to raise in their talks. According to press reports, Mr Sharon told our High Representative that withdrawal from Gaza had been agreed on in talks with the authorities of the Palestinian Autonomous Territories; if that is indeed the case and it proves possible to hand it over in an orderly manner, then we, and the UNHCR, should give some thought to using that as an opportunity to convert the refugee camps into permanent dwellings. Our working party on the United Nations was joined this morning by Mr Hansen, from the UNHCR. He described how, after the destruction of the camp in Jenin, the decision was taken to build proper houses, so that the people would at last, after 50 years, no longer be refugees. I see Gaza as offering a second opportunity to get the refugees out of their camps and into permanent settlements, once the handover has been properly accomplished. I therefore ask that this idea be considered in talks with UNRWA and with the authorities concerned, in order that this situation may come to an end and a new era may begin."@en1
