lpv:translated text	"Mr President, with all due respect to my colleagues in this Parliament, I think that it is a little odd – I thought I would just say this, looking at the list of speakers – that we are having what is almost an all-Dutch round on the Moluccas. Of course, there is every reason to say something about the Moluccas. The pictures and, still more, the reports that we are receiving are, after all, very reminiscent of what happened in East Timor. But I must say that I have my doubts about this round. Last time, we talked about East Timor and today, we are talking about the Moluccas. We might talk about yet another part of Indonesia tomorrow, for the problem is not confined to the Moluccas. I have a problem with the way in which we are handling this subject; that is to say, I do not think Parliament should discuss individual incidents, for I fear that this great island kingdom will be the scene of many more such incidents where national and religious factors are intertwined. What actually needs to happen is for Parliament to ask itself how, in any event, it should deal with the big problem of Indonesia. The Moluccan situation is not an isolated case. The Moluccas form part of a great State comprising many nationalities and religious groupings. It is a State that is at risk of falling apart and where tensions are running high. I would be very much in favour of having a big debate of the kind I have just described at some stage in the future, rather than going from incident to incident all the time."@en1
