lpv:translated text	"Mr President, for many of us, the case of Timor has for many years served as a kind of laboratory for learning how to manage conflicts linked to a colonial heritage. At the same time it has served as an example allowing us to test, improve and correct certain international aid practices. Nevertheless, the process of international accompaniment which led East Timor to regain its independence also has many grey areas, as usually happens in cases such as this. In view of what is happening at the moment, our first observation should probably be that the international withdrawal was rather premature, and I therefore believe that the Security Council’s decision to extend the United Nations mission in that country is absolutely right. We must also acknowledge and welcome as very positive the Timorese authorities’ decision to ask for an international committee to carry out an investigation into the violent events of 5 May, when a group of hundreds of soldiers who had resigned from their posts clashed with others who were still in the army. Furthermore, these events took place within a context of general violence which has left a number of dead and wounded and thousands of refugees. This is clearly not the situation that the international community wanted to see in Timor. We cannot therefore now shy away from this situation and we must show our complete solidarity with those who are working to find a solution to the problem. In particular, we must support the action being taken by President Xanana Gusmão and Minister Ramos Horta on behalf of the government. Finally, I also believe that we must learn from past mistakes and in this Resolution we therefore call for the establishment of mechanisms for horizontal communication and cooperation amongst the international forces, with a view to providing a better service to the Timorese people, as well as effective restoration of public order and of normality in the functioning of the institutions."@en1
