".
Mr President, whom I congratulate on his re-election, I can tell you that my colleague, Mrs Kuneva, and I have listened most carefully to this entire debate, which reflects the very profound concern of the whole of the European Parliament faced with the unacceptable situation of these persons imprisoned since 1999, a date that ought not to escape you. On behalf of the Commission, we are convinced that the European institutions have an absolute duty to show solidarity in this matter and that we should be resolute in our support.
I therefore confirm, as the Presidency has just done, that all of the European institutions will show solidarity faced with this tragedy. I should also like to inform you of our colleague’s, Mrs Ferrero-Waldner’s, strong determination to find a solution by means of negotiation. Mrs Ferrero-Waldner is fully involved in a dialogue that is certainly difficult but that absolutely must be carried through to a successful conclusion. Finally, while I referred just now to what are perhaps impromptu and untimely initiatives, which would be liable to disrupt this necessary negotiation and this crucial dialogue, it does not mean that the Libyan authorities should forget that the future of Libyan-EU relations will depend on the solution found to this problem.
Mrs Ferrero-Waldner will keep Parliament informed of any developments in this issue, Mr President, especially after the ‘General Affairs’ Council has been held.
I should like to thank Parliament for having used language to speak about this matter that is entirely worthy of, and in keeping with, its seriousness."@en1
