"Madam President, quite apart from the question as to whether or not the notorious report by the European diplomats is official in nature, we have to conclude that the effect of this document, which has been the subject of much debate, is, if nothing else, to provide yet more evidence of the far too one-sided pro-Palestinian stance of the official bodies of the European Union. The European representatives constantly claim, as Bismarck did, to be honest brokers, but in reality, they mainly defend Palestinian demands, which is detrimental to the EU’s independence.
While we are at it, we might as well own up to the fact that the many billions of European tax money that have been channelled to the Palestinian Authority over the past few years by way of aid, have mainly served to support a wholly corrupt regime. I have put many questions about this to the Council and Commission, which have each time been rebuffed, and now we are left dealing with the consequences. The corrupt have been wiped away by the election victory of the terrorist Islamic movement Hamas. The EU’s responsibility in this respect is crushing."@en1
