lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I too should like to thank the Commission. This is a very important debate which goes to the very heart of Europe, and is what this Parliament is all about. This is a fine report, but it is only a report. Very often what we need in these situations is action. I should like everyone here to put their hands on their hearts and ask themselves whether we have done everything we possibly can to stop the massive abuse of human rights in Darfur, which continues as we speak. Over 200 000 people have died and two and a half million people have been displaced. It goes on, and on, and on. I do not believe we can honestly say that we have done everything we can and that we have thrown Parliament’s full weight behind diplomatic initiatives to end what is going on and put pressure on the Sudanese Government to stop what it is doing. They are playing cat-and-mouse while hundreds of thousands of people are dying. This is a fine report, and I support it. However, as we debate the issue of human rights and the EU’s position on them, I really do not believe we are doing enough to stop what is going on in Darfur."@en1
