lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, there is an oft-quoted saying that the problem with the world is not so much all the bad, but the silence of the good. Although the international community has not been entirely silent, frustration and powerlessness must be the words that best describe its feelings regarding the situation in Syria. It is distressing that all we can do is read the reports by UN military observers on the ever-growing numbers of civilian victims, and the continuous bloodshed and human rights violations. They report that Syrian Government troops are carrying out planned attacks on civilians. In other words, the purpose is to kill civilians. Now, for the first time, the United Nations has added Syrian Government troops to the list of those who recruit, kill and exploit children in armed conflicts. It is quite clear that the EU must use all the influence it has with Russia and China. However, the Arab countries also have a crucial role to play, especially Jordan. The situation in Syria is causing growing uncertainty throughout the region. In Lebanon, for example, the army has now managed to end the violence against religious groups. The Alawites and Sunnis have been fighting one another, and it is particularly the supporters of al-Assad and his opponents who have been involved. It is estimated that 78 000 people have fled to neighbouring countries. I would like to ask the Commissioner what the international community can do in this situation to help the refugees that have escaped to neighbouring countries and to support the coordination of humanitarian assistance in the region."@en1
