"Mr President, I would like to make three quick points. First of all, I would like to thank Baroness Ashton and Commissioner Georgieva for the work they have done to date.
Secondly, I would like to say that there must be an inquiry. The international community must initiate a formal inquiry into what happened on 21 August in relation to chemical weapons which killed 1 400 people. Whatever else happens, that must be investigated. We must also ensure that the humanitarian aid that is required is provided and that we meet our part in that. I know that, to date, we have been doing that and in part meeting it from the neighbourhood instrument, which brings me to my third point.
Do we remember Srebrenica? Who was it sorted out the problem in Srebrenica? Here this is in our neighbourhood, being funded in part by our neighbourhood humanitarian aid facility, and we do not have the capacity to deal with it: we leave it to the Russians and the Americans. This is why the question of a common defence needs to be revisited. That may sound a strange thing coming from someone who represents a neutral country, but I have set my views out in a document called ‘Beyond neutrality’. We need to have that debate."@en1
