"Mr President, last week’s EU-Iraq Cooperation Council gives hope that the military fight against Daesh in Iraq, and primarily Mosul, will soon come to a successful end. The EU has established itself as a key player in Iraq, providing vital humanitarian and stabilisation assistance to millions of people affected by the crisis. The EU and UK have pledged to provide another EUR 95 million in humanitarian crisis aid.
This is good news, but I am worried about the political consequences of the Mosul operation. What is our next step in engaging with Iraq following the government’s declaration of victory over Daesh? In my view, we must use our leverage to pressure the Iraqi Government to end the marginalisation of Sunnis and other minorities. In the future this government must focus on good governance, power sharing, the reconciliation process and job creation. This is one of the main lessons of 2003 Iraq. If we do not ensure peace and justice in Iraq we are sowing the seeds for another post-Daesh extremist organisation."@en1
