"Mr President, needless to say, the Social Democrats wholeheartedly endorse the request for a debate on Darfur, since the emergency situation is critical and violations persist. The problem is extensive, and we – the European Union, its Member States, and the European Council – have an important part to play in this. That is why it is important that we have this debate. The problem, though, is vast, and our fellow Member was right to point that out. He made a valid point when he asked the Council and Commission to make a statement. As I understand it, we have to hold a debate on Wednesday evening, and neither the Council nor the Commission will be present or provide a statement. We will be thrashing things out among ourselves, and that will, of course, be very unfortunate. Whilst I, on behalf of the Social Democrats, wholeheartedly support the request, I very much hope that we can also have a serious debate involving the Council and Commission. That is, after all, what gives our debate real substance and political meaning."@en1
