"Mr President, I admit that I am a little surprised, since no one thought that this resolution was pointless when we debated it. Absolutely no one, and least of all Mrs Wallis. Moving on, it is true that the Commission referred to the fact that the European Union wished to join the Arctic Council, and so on. For my part, I believe that, in accordance with the wish expressed by the Commission, this new resolution, which states very clearly our desire for a moratorium on drilling and for a demilitarised zone in the Arctic, is indeed a particularly important one, coming as it does at a time when the border countries are flexing their muscles – including their military muscles – in this zone, in order to claim their property and their drilling opportunities. Thus, from a political point of view, it is absolutely crucial that we vote for this text, and this about-turn by Mrs Wallis – and by part of the Chamber, too – is completely unjustifiable, given the debates that we have had."@en1
