".
We wish to express our unequivocal criticism of the appalling and irresponsible remarks about Israel made by the President of Iran.
The motion for a resolution before us, however, reveals much about the double standards prevailing in the EU.
With its biased view of the Middle East situation, the resolution makes proposals that would only serve to intensify the conflict.
It makes the accusation that Iran supports terror, and yet sweeps under the carpet the major responsibility that the USA, Israel and our very own EU must bear for the worsening situation in the region.
The motion for a resolution fails to condemn the consequences of the attack on Iraq and the subsequent occupation by the USA and its allies. It refers to the Palestine situation as a conflict, thereby glossing over Israel’s occupation of Palestine and its utterly brutal violation of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.
The motion for a resolution calls on Iran to honour its international obligations as regards the development of its nuclear programme, without questioning the demands made on other countries in the region that have developed nuclear programmes and possess nuclear weapons.
The Iranian President’s remarks only serve to complicate the situation in a region that has been completely destabilised by a policy of interference, war and domination pursued by the USA, with the support of its regional and European allies."@en1
