"Mr President, UKIP advocates the two-state solution. Personally speaking, I believe that recognition of Palestine would make it easier for the international community to bring the two-state solution into being. I am confident that, one day, Palestine will be recognised, but what we were asked to vote on today called on the Commission to act, and I have no faith in the Commission. Just look at what EU interference has done in Ukraine, in Libya and in the former Yugoslavia. EU imperialism is a destructive and destabilising force in the world and I cannot and will not encourage it. Let us be in no doubt: recognising states is itself an act of statehood. My colleague, James Carver, put a question to the Commission on the recognition of Somaliland, and in reply the Commission confirmed that the EU does not have the competence to recognise states. For this reason I cannot countenance any request that the EU act as if it were a state."@en1
