lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, a threefold game is currently being played out in Syria. Several things are being determined: the influence that Iran and Saudi Arabia will have; the role that Egypt is going to play in the context of the Arab Spring; and the vacuum created by the election campaign in the United States, which China and Russia would both like to fill. The apparent good news is the unanimous adoption of this resolution in the United Nations Security Council. The important thing here, Mr President, is that the adoption of this resolution should be consistent with the attitude of those countries as regards the situation that has arisen in Syria. The path of diplomacy is slow to produce results, and meanwhile, Mr al-Assad is gaining time in order to continue repressing the population. The truth, Baroness Ashton, is that although we need to support Mr Annan’s plan, we are sending out mixed signals to the international community. On the one hand, Mr al-Assad remains in power, gaining time – for he knows that the veto by China and Russia enables him to massacre his population with impunity – and, on the other hand, we are sending out a message to dissidents that there is no short-term solution. It is therefore important, Mr President, that we should take all these factors into consideration; the EU deserves recognition for the action it has taken on humanitarian aid, the mobilisation of funds with Ms Georgieva, which you just mentioned, and its continued support for the deployment of this mission. However, as a diplomat from my country pointed out – and rightly so, I believe – according to the basis of Mr Annan’s plan, the solution to the conflict unfortunately has to begin with Mr al-Assad, but it also has to end with his removal."@en1
