lpv:translated text	"Madam President, may I start by endorsing what Mr Swoboda has said in connection with this crisis. I shall make certain points which have not been made by previous speakers. First of all, the crisis does not concern Turkey and Cyprus; it concerns Turkey and the European Union, and the eastern borders of the European Union. We all know that, in a bid to exploit and expand its own exclusive economic zone, Turkey has also contested the right of Greek islands, specifically Kastellorizo and the other islands in that vicinity, to an exclusive economic zone. Thus, in its effort to foment trouble, Turkey has given notice of its own exclusive economic zone, because it has not signed the Law of the Sea, which has been signed by the whole of the European Union, and it is claiming no more and no less than about half the Eastern Mediterranean. As regards the area in which exploration is being carried out, it is off Egypt, at the southern point of the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Cyprus. Apart from that, Turkey has linked this specific episode to the talks, to the Presidency of the Republic of Cyprus and to the fact that it does not recognise the Republic of Cyprus. More importantly, the presence of the Turkish navy in the area is, unfortunately, currently being verified by other states; there are reports of US aircraft flying out of Sicily to monitor for the presence of Turkish submarines. Israel is doing the same while, for our part, unfortunately, the facility for the European Union itself to act is very limited. Baroness Ashton, I will close with this: we still have a long way to go before the European Union has a real common foreign policy and common defence policy. We must all help to resolve this incident."@en1
