lpv:translated text	"I abstained from voting on the resolution on Israel’s boarding of the Mavi Marmara flotilla. I believe the resolution put forward unbalanced claims and an erroneous version of the facts. I think we need to await the results of the inquiry commission before trying to pass judgment on the Mavi Marmara incident. We must, of course, deplore the loss of human lives but, above all, we must analyse objectively and reasonably the decisions, actions and circumstances that led to this tragedy. Undoubtedly, Israel made political and military errors, but we should nevertheless remember that a naval blockade is a legitimate measure that is recognised by international law in the context of an armed conflict at sea. The blockade, which was put in place to stop arms trafficking in that region at war, was broken through and challenged by the same fleet which is now being presented to the world as the victim of an unjustified Israeli attack. Only a rational dialogue will enable negotiations between Israel and Gaza to move forward. In the framework of that dialogue, Europe is duty-bound to provide a calm, balanced view, without showing any undue partisan fervour."@en1
