lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, following your very interesting statements, I should like to make the following comments: The first comment concerns the Commissioner's last sentence. The European Union does indeed have much more to offer beyond reconstruction and our problem is how we can translate this very interesting idea into specific policy. The second comment concerns the vote on the constitution. I too agree that the vote for the constitution, despite the fact that an important group did not respond, is an important event. An important event which, however, still leaves certain very important problems outstanding, such as the issue and the role of religion, the federal model, the national identity and access to natural resources, especially oil. The third comment concerns the elections. The elections are indeed very, very important, especially as the new parliament will turn its attention – as the constitution says – not only to revising the constitution, but also to the manner in which certain of its provisions are applied. The fourth comment concerns a matter which, unfortunately, despite efforts, despite the democratisation process, is still outstanding. It is the matter of security. I do not wish to reopen a debate which has been held in Parliament, in the Council and in every Member State. However, I do wish to say this: there are a great many investigations, many of which have also been published, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, in newspapers in your country, which raise the question of the continuing presence of foreign military forces in Iraq. I refer here, and this is my last point, to the proposal which we debated in the European Parliament: I think the time has come to replace the foreign military forces in Iraq with a UN peacekeeping force."@en1
