lpv:translated text	". Mr President, as the Council only knows too well, the European Parliament remains opposed to its intention to abandon the arms embargo in respect of the People’s Republic of China on the basis of the human rights situation, see paragraph 7 of the joint draft resolution. Although I support this position, it is too restricted because it completely overlooks the eroding military balance in the state of Taiwan as well as the general regional stability in East Asia. These are geopolitical developments which give the US cause for concern about a possible European lifting of the arms embargo against Peking. If, as appears to be the case, Brussels wants to give Washington sole and short-term responsibility for peace and security in the Far East, then a fresh crisis in transatlantic relations is looming in the distance in succession to Iraq. I hope that at the EU-US Summit on 20 June, the Council will prove this sombre scenario wrong. How can it do this? It can do it by joining with the Americans in taking responsibility, in taking real responsibility for geopolitical stability in Asia. After all, as China’s key trading partner, the European Union ultimately owes it to itself to do this."@en1
