"Madam President, I too should like to take my turn and start by congratulating my honourable friends Véronique De Keyser and Edward McMillan-Scott on their important contribution to the monitoring of the Palestinian elections.
The Palestinian people voted in a democratic manner and I believe that all of us today should respect the democratic will of the Palestinian people and formulate the new European strategy based on the new political reality in the Middle East and Palestine.
Unfortunately Mr Solana is not here today for me to tell him that his statement a week before the Palestinian elections that economic aid to Palestine should be frozen if Hammas won was a very serious mistake. This statement by Mr Solana was used by Hammas and basically functioned as a boomerang for the moderate Palestinian progressive forces.
This being so, I see a serious deficit in the European Union. I have seen no statement, no declaration of awareness about the unilateral policy of the Israeli Government, I have seen no statement about the policy and decision by Mr Olmert to freeze the USD 50 million paid back to the Palestinian authority.
I have one thing to ask of the Commission: to request the prolongation of the truce by Hammas. This is an important issue, rather than various conditions which are unilateral towards the Palestinian side."@en1
