lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as EU Member States we are in agreement as far as verbal actions go; that is to say, we demand that both sides return to the negotiating table and refrain from taking unilateral measures until a solution is reached. The planned recognition in the UN General Assembly is a unilateral measure on the part of the Palestinians and the daily continuation of the settlement policy is a unilateral measure on the part of Israel. Here, too, we are probably still in agreement. Now it gets exciting, however: do we want to deter both sides from carrying out these two measures to the same extent? I fear not, and my country, Germany, is also playing its part here, because if that were the case, we would then have to consider in practical terms, for example, how we could encourage the present Israeli Government in future to no longer ignore the implications of the common position of the international community with regard to the settlement freeze. After years of increasing political frustration and out of deep concern for the future viability of Israel, I am now of the opinion that we need to take measures within the framework of our contractual relations with the government there, also in the interests of the people in Israel, because, with its continuing policy, the government is not contributing to peace, but rather to further radicalisation in the region. That has to be our starting point. I fear that recognition in the General Assembly by however large a majority will, unfortunately, not help to revive the peace process. Let us therefore start with Israel."@en1
