"Mr President, I think that we all agree on the ultimate objective of the intervention going on in Libya: to put a complete stop to the intolerable acts of violence and abuse being committed by the Gaddafi regime against civilians.
I believe that Paragraph 8 of UN Security Council Resolution 1973 provides an irrefutable legal basis for ensuring, by every means possible, respect for the no-fly zone established with the precise aim of protecting civilians. I actually want to mention that, prior to the adoption of resolution 1973, the European Parliament was one of the first international institutions to call for establishing such a zone, during the last plenary session in Strasbourg.
With the prospect of the European Council meeting which opens tomorrow, I feel that there are two important factors for ensuring that intervention in Libya is successful. I believe that the key words should be ‘coordination’ and ‘clarity’. I am talking, first and foremost, about coordination at EU level in the spirit of the Treaty of Lisbon with regard to the humanitarian aspects. There is also coordination with NATO: I believe that our actions must complement those of NATO. Lastly, coordination with the Arab League is very important, because ongoing regional support will be an essential aspect of our actions in Libya.
Finally, we need to be clear in our resolve to end the violence against civilians. The successful resolution of this situation depends, to a large extent, on the clarity of our message."@en1
