lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is important to understand that the resolution that the European Parliament is going to approve this afternoon is not directed against anybody. On the contrary, the Chilean Government and judiciary have acted in an exemplary fashion. The Peruvian Government has complied fully with its obligations by requesting that a fugitive from justice be extradited in order to face the many outstanding charges against him. Specifically over recent days we have witnessed a good example of democratic maturity in Chile, where the opposition candidate has sportingly acknowledged his defeat and made a point of personally congratulating the President-elect. We should not therefore be surprised that, following a model transition, Chile has become a benchmark for progress and growth, as well as for stability and democratic normality. The European Union, and this Parliament in particular, have also expressed their solidarity with the cause of democratic consolidation in Chile. It was my privilege to head a mission of Members of the European Parliament that attended the presidential election in 2000. For this reason, and on the basis of a request from the competent Peruvian authorities, I would ask, Commissioner, that the Union send a mission of electoral observers to the coming presidential elections in Peru in order to demonstrate our solidarity with the cause of democratic consolidation in that country. Mr President, nothing could be more logical in this context than the resolution that the European Parliament is going to approve this afternoon, the only purpose of which is once again to stress as emphatically as possible that, in a democracy, laws are designed specifically to be obeyed and that nobody either can or should be above the law."@en1
