"Mr President, unfortunately, it had to be assumed that the existing conflicts would not be resolved overnight following the independence of South Sudan, and not only where the final decision on where the border goes is concerned. A man such as Omar al-Bashir, who has exercised his rule for many years in all parts of his country in the way with which we are familiar, is continuing as before in the part of the country remaining to him as regards human rights, and I doubt that he has a genuine interest in the stabilisation of Sudan. We, as the EU, undoubtedly can and must help with the clearly still existing gross shortcomings in Sudan’s governance. I hope that by doing so, we can prevent Sudan turning into a new Eritrea, as one of the previous speakers feared. The international community must now act together. The World Security Council resolution provides the legal and political framework. The permanent members of the Security Council have a particular responsibility for its implementation since they have special interests and influence in Khartoum; I am talking, for example, about China and Russia. All those responsible in the north and the south must guarantee access to humanitarian aid. The EU must work closely with the African Union to bring about the resumption of peace talks. My basic stance is that, wherever possible, we must promote African solutions for African conflicts. In the case of oil, however, it is clear that the north and south are mutually dependent. One cannot do without the other. The buyers of the oil should realise that they will only gain access to the oil if they make proposals to Khartoum and Juba that reflect the interests of both. To this extent, it would be desirable for the EU to coordinate its actions with, for example, China. I feel sure that the EU would not prevent this from happening."@en1
