"Mr President, like my colleagues, I believe that –– as is the case with the European Union –– if the United Nations Organisation did not exist, it would have to be invented. That is a fact. And it is also the case that the United Nations must be reformed, just as we are doing in the European Union. In the specific case of the United Nations, an in-depth and immediate reform is clearly urgent, fundamentally because the Member States are currently subjecting it to a twofold restriction, of a budgetary nature, firstly, and secondly, of a political nature. The reports by the high-level panel and by the Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, provide, I believe –– and here I agree with Mr Laschet –– an excellent starting point for analysis and debate, and I would therefore also urge the Commission and the Council to take them sufficiently into account. It is important to remember the anti-war mobilisations, in particular those that led us to question the importance of a war in Iraq. I believe that, at this time when world military spending has risen to one billion dollars per year while at the same time the States do not provide money for the Millennium objectives, this review is more necessary than ever."@en1
