lpv:translated text	"Mr President, developments in Lebanon should be seen within the framework of wider regional equilibrium and stability. The application of resolution 1559 on the withdrawal of Syrian forces from Lebanese territory is the first, but not the only dynamic element in this global approach. At the same time, an international initiative needs to be taken to restart the peace process between Israel and Syria. The European Union has a strategic responsibility to take a specific initiative, within the framework of the Quartet, either by preparing a parallel roadmap, or by extending the current roadmap, so that it includes the Israeli-Syrian aspect of the peace process. The Council of Ministers and the Commission should speed up the procedures to complete the action plan for Lebanon within the framework of the European neighbourhood strategy, just as they should oppose the connection being attempted between the signature of the association agreement with Syria and prior completion of the withdrawal of the Syrian army. It is in our interest to keep our options open with Syria if we want to help democratise the country and bring stability to the area. The withdrawal of the Syrian forces, as agreed, is a first positive step. Our objective is respect for the international legality and the application of resolution 1559. However, this objective should not be selective. It should bind all the countries in the area, including Israel. If we are to be effective, we need first to be a credible European Union."@en1
