lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I will refrain from adding to what many Members have said very effectively on the subject of East Timor. Instead, I would like to ask a question about it – ‘build peace without opportunism’ – what does that mean? In short, after 24 years of this tragedy, and after 24 years of the international community avoiding imposing economic sanctions, what does ‘make every effort’ now mean? On this, I add my voice to the request already made in this House and by the Senate of the Republic of my country, asking for European governments and the UN to recognise, as soon as possible, the sovereign state of East Timor, and the fact that it is no longer an issue dealt with exclusively in this House does credit to my Portuguese colleagues and colleagues from certain other countries. I would like to add another consideration to this. In addition to the debt we have owed to East Timor for 24 years, there is the fact that, while there have been demonstrations about East Timor, we are not taking into account the political hypothesis that we must in any case once again beg the United States for the favour of possible military intervention. This forces us to re-examine the subject of common defence. One final point. It is still possible for us to do what is right for East Timor, to do it immediately and with determination. The credibility of this institution depends not only on endorsing the Commissioners of the Commission, but also largely on the question of East Timor."@en1
