"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, your words are hardly of any reassurance to me regarding the European Union’s capacity to take action. To be honest, it is calling on the opposition to unite for the umpteenth time, listing the risks that the situation presents for the umpteenth time, risks that have already been proven and are still very much present: regionalisation, militarisation, communitarisation, etc. These risks are also the result of the international community’s inability to have provided its support in good time to a people’s uprising against a dictator.
I also believe that the situation is now so complicated and so difficult that there is no correct solution any more. However, inaction will cost us even more dearly. In other words, in three months’ time, we will be having the same old debate and you will be telling us how militarisation, communitarisation and regionalisation have been exacerbated further. Yes, we need to act then but there is no correct solution. Faced with the need and duty to protect the people, we are practically faced with the dilemma of having to choose whether we should violate international law by bypassing the Security Council. Yet we have to put all the options on the table.
I heard Mr Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra talking about a force being present on the ground. I also heard what Ms Brantner had to say. These options need to be looked at. This is absolutely urgent. We then need to put pressure on Russia because Russia, I can assure you, is in a very comfortable position. Today in France, the largest arms-producing company is currently showing at the international exhibition of weapons, in Villepinte, with total impunity. I have not heard anyone in Europe or in France, or you yourselves, dispute this fact. I therefore think that Russia does not feel under any threat whatsoever. We all know it is about the carrot and the stick with Russia. What have you dangled in front of them in your discussions?"@en1
