lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the peace process in the Middle East does not look promising, in my view. The Palestinian Authority has threatened the UN with dire consequences if it does not proclaim a Palestinian state next week. I do not believe that such a one-sided step will bring us any closer to a peaceful solution. Quite the contrary. The European Union is one of the largest of the Palestinian Authority’s financial backers and Europe should use this instrument to force Mr Abbas to return to the negotiating table. Solutions to the process can only be found at the negotiating table and that requires efforts from all parties. That call is now especially pertinent for the Palestinians. Another factor which is certainly posing an equally great threat to peace in the Middle East at the moment is the Turkish Prime Minister, Mr Erdogan. He wants to restore the Ottoman Empire and is increasing the sabre-rattling. He is threatening to use Turkish warships to break the legitimate sea blockade of the Gaza Strip. The UN was right when it said that, above all, Turkey should have prevented the Gaza flotilla from setting sail. The Turkish Government failed to do that. Mr Erdogan is now trying to paper over this failure by threatening Israel and pushing the agenda for a Palestinian state. This man is clearly a risk to peace in the Middle East. That is one more reason not to take him seriously as a partner in negotiations and to call a definitive halt to Turkey’s accession to the European Union."@en1
