"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, what we are to decide on tomorrow is, in my opinion, a resolution of openness and dialogue; it represents a Europe that believes in politics as the art of combining vision and reality. It is very important today to reaffirm the central role of the International Atomic Energy Agency in ensuring that there are no military developments in the Iranian nuclear programmes. It is equally important, however, to send a clear message to the Commission, the governments of the Member States and the international community: the peoples of Europe, represented by this Parliament, wish to see the Iran issue handled with a commitment to leave the door open to negotiation. We also need to recognise Tehran’s legitimate concerns for its security and identify Iran’s essential role as a regional power. We need to be equally clear and determined, however, in refusing any type of bargaining over the serious contraventions of human rights which still exist, especially in the field of freedom of expression and of women’s and children’s rights, where we are still very far from being secure in the rule of law. This resolution should be seen by Tehran as a sincere, clear call for the continuation of negotiations and ought also to act as a useful step towards the involvement of the other major protagonist in this delicate issue, the United States of America. As we are dramatically reminded every day in Iraq, the use of force, unilateralism and regime changes imposed by the use of arms are the perfect ingredients for a disaster foretold. Only a multilateral, determined and transparent effort will make it possible to create the conditions in which Iran will no longer be seen just as a danger but, on the contrary, as an essential player that has a vital role in stabilising the world’s most strategic region."@en1
