"Initiating steps on a unilateral basis to recognise the State of Palestine is likely to create a new source of conflict in the Middle East. The international community is in a difficult situation, as tipping the balance towards one side or other would give rise to new tensions whose impact is difficult to predict.
The European Union has shown its receptiveness to the Palestinian Authority by approving in Parliament an agreement allowing agricultural and fisheries products originating from the West Bank and Gaza Strip to have duty-free access to the European market and ensuring access for European products to the market in the territories under Palestinian jurisdiction. The European Union is certainly the largest donor to the Palestinian Authority in terms of responding to the humanitarian cause involving people who are faced with severe problems.
Deregulating EU markets for Palestinian products, which have hitherto been under the direct control of the Israeli customs authorities, will help the Palestinian people develop their economy. A people’s independence starts with a prosperous economy and better living conditions. The EU has always been receptive to the Palestinians’ problems and supported them. However, the issue of recognising the State of Palestine is a matter for negotiations because we cannot risk causing tension in such an unstable region."@en1
