"Mr President, when the negotiating guidelines were adopted, the European Union – its 27 Member States, the Commission and this Parliament – had a commitment from Israel dating back to 2005.
Israel is a partner of the European Union and an essential participant in the peace process, even if we dislike the decisions that have been taken with regard to settlements and in spite of the fact that some of the decisions taken by the Israeli Government undeniably violate the rights of the Palestinian people.
After the elections in the United States, the peace process negotiations will be revived, and it is clear that the European Union cannot be excluded from this process. The European Union and this Parliament therefore need to honour their commitments and adopt this agreement.
Mr President, the interpretative amendment that has been tabled to the draft legislative resolution is clearly in violation of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, as Rule 83 states quite clearly that no amendments may be tabled to a draft legislative resolution.
Parliament is entitled to express its opinion through non-legislative resolutions and, in any case, the acceptance of this amendment sets a worrying precedent, which, if this decision is not reversed, is likely to be the subject of an appeal before the Court of Justice, leaving those who tabled and accepted the amendment in a sticky situation."@en1
