lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, a feature of the current situation is the anger and the frustration of the men and women of all our Member States. They are angry and frustrated at the sclerosis that exists in the decision-making processes of the European Union and indeed the United Nations. It is time we got our act together and resolved these decision-making problems. The President-in-Office here this morning declared that the Council was surprised at the events of the last two weeks. I cannot understand how the Council or anybody else could be surprised. Has no one in the Council been reading the paper for the last 25 years? Do they not know that we have armed the perpetrators of this genocide for the last 25 years? The people of East Timor believed us when we told them we would protect them if they voted and they came out in their thousands and thousands to vote for independence. We failed to protect them. How many more times do we say “never again” before we actually take a decision to ensure that when we make a promise like that we will keep that promise and plan to keep that promise? It is not good enough for us to wring our hands and declare we are sorry. We have to make sure it never happens again."@en1
