lpv:translated text	"Mr President, High Representative, ladies and gentlemen, the return of Chamberlain and Daladier from Munich in 1938 and the words that were spoken at the time: ‘ ’ are part of the darkest hour not only of European, but also of world, history. Let there be no doubt that we realise this all too well. Having said this, this debate, for which I should like to thank the High Representative and all the Members of this House, is a very interesting one, because it demonstrates, via the intervention of one or other party, how great is the risk of us being used as instruments by Washington on the one hand, or by Russia on the other. Take your pick. Whichever way, we run the considerable risk of being played off against each other by these two superpowers. What matters now is to prevent this from happening. We must prevent ending up in another situation where we have to choose sides straight away, with no room for manoeuvre, and in which we sit back and watch another spiral develop which could culminate in yet another arms race. We are at a point where we could avoid this if we made sure that we did not let ourselves be used as pawns and see what is best for us all together and what is best for the world and for world peace. Although not quite a pacifist, I do belong to a generation for whom words such as disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation were extremely important, and that also tried to act accordingly, so I should like to thank you, High Representative, for speaking freely on this subject; I wish you the best and would like to say that you can count on our support. One thing did stand out for me in your presentation, namely the elegance with which you skimmed over the discussions in the UN Security Council about the future resolution on Kosovo. Could you perhaps say something more about this?"@en1
