lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my outrage at and condemnation of the appalling attack that took the life of Rafik Hariri and 14 other innocent civilians. I wish to offer my sincere condolences to the families of Mr Hariri and of the other victims of this horrifying attack. I also wish, in accordance with the declaration of the United Nations Security Council of 15 February, for the truth about the causes and circumstances of this attack to be established, so that its perpetrators can be swiftly brought to justice. This was an attack on all the peoples of Lebanon, regardless of their faith or political hue, and was carried out to create a climate of fear in the population. We should not play into the hands of those who seek to destabilise Lebanon. This event is a reminder of just how important it is to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which reaffirms the international community’s commitment to the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Lebanon, which implies total and immediate withdrawal of Syrian forces from Lebanon. The international community must remain active and vigilant, so as to ensure that the forthcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for the spring are held in democratic and transparent conditions. These elections will give an indication of the commitment – or lack of it – of the parties concerned to respond to the demands of the international community. The Council should perhaps take the initiative of organising a peace conference on Lebanon, with a view to taking advantage of the climate currently prevailing in the Middle East, which favours the settlement of long-standing conflicts. The European Union has a duty to participate in the peace process for the region and to advance the democratic cause, ‘without complacency or arrogance’, as Michel Barnier, France’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, put it. We must not disappoint the hopes of millions of men and women."@en1
