lpv:translated text	"Mr President, South Sudan no longer represents the good news we were still hoping for just one year ago. The peoples of South Sudan and of Sudan are enjoying neither peace, stability nor, least of all, development. ‘Walk on your own two legs, walk for a long time, find water and share it’, goes an old saying from the region, but this certainly does not reflect reality. Today, at the most, people walk for a long time but, if they have not stepped on a mine first, water is not easy to find until the rainy season. In fact, it is not easy to help Juba, just as it is not easy to put pressure on Khartoum. However, I believe that action by the Commission, the European External Action Service and the European Union ought to be based on certain fundamental principles. Above all, we must keep attention focused on this crisis, so that it does not risk becoming a forgotten crisis, one of those points on the agenda that is shelved and deprived of the attention of the media and the international community. Secondly, we must insist on full application of Security Council Resolution 2046, which is a key element. Thirdly, we must not be unprepared for what may happen in Khartoum, keeping in mind the fact that Sadiq al-Mahdi, former Sudanese prime minister, evoked the prospect of an Arab Spring in Sudan, in view of the failures both of the administration and of President al-Bashir himself. Let us therefore remain vigilant, to avoid a recurrence of what happened in North Africa. Fourthly, as we are the main donor to South Sudan, we should have more say in the application of laws in Juba. Currently, uniformed soldiers in South Sudan are appropriating land in an arbitrary fashion. The Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement must re-establish its credibility as far as citizens are concerned, which will be quite difficult without a minimum legal system that is effective and independent. This ought to be the European Union’s first priority. Without delay, I will finish with a final point, to which we have already drawn attention: the creation for South Sudan of a transparent fund to collect the proceeds of oil resources, as happened in Timor. Objections may be made that Timor was good news: well, we would like South Sudan to be good news too."@en1
