".
I wish to begin by highlighting the fact that Parliament took the initiative of drawing up a report on ‘non-proliferation’ and not disarmament. We feel that while the resolution makes some positive points, it also contains some very worrying ones.
Within the context of the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, leaving open the possibility of ‘the use of force’ is totally unacceptable. The fact that such a policy provided ‘backing’ for the colossal exercise in manipulation, and the attack on Iraq and the subsequent occupation, perpetrated by the USA and its allies – based on the outrageous allegation that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction – lays bare its real intentions.
It is dangerous and disingenuous to link the so-called ‘war on terror’, in conjunction with the USA, with the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
We also regret the rejection of proposals tabled by our group aimed at setting up a European disarmament agency, condemning the USA’s manipulation of the United Nations, making Europe a nuclear weapon-free zone, withdrawing the USA’s nuclear weapons from Europe, and calling on Germany to eliminate its uranium enrichment potential in the Garching research reactor."@en1
