"Mr President, Members of Parliament, I realise that we are all taking quite an optimistic view of the future of the Middle East peace process. The opportunity for progress is a real one, and we have to try to seize it. The Union is prepared to participate in promoting negotiations both financially and politically.
Nevertheless, as many speakers have stated, immense challenges lie ahead that no one should underestimate. The most difficult and sensitive issues are still unsolved. If the period following the Madrid Peace Conference in 1991 had been put to better use, there might now be a solid trust between the parties. Now, instead, the one-year time limit set by them for the signing of a permanent status agreement seems fairly ambitious, as, indeed, is generally agreed. I only wish to say that if the parties so desire, the Union is ready to assist with every means at its disposal"@en1
