lpv:translated text	"Mr President, whatever its positive points, this report is flawed by the demands and requirements set out in the Stability Pact. In other words, it essentially accepts that the wolf can guard the sheep. By its very nature, the Stability Pact in Eastern Europe is intrusive, on the pretext that human rights and democracy are being protected. I will not yet again refer to how the European Union is reacting to the flagrant violations of human rights in Turkey and elsewhere or the strident violations of those rights inside the European Union, i.e. the double standards policy. For the moment, I will just note that the Pact’s real aim is to ensure the political and economic dependence of the countries in the area, to plunder their wealth and to overexploit their workforce. As is also stressed in the report, it is particularly worrying that in the area there will be a test of the European Union’s – I quote – ‘ability to develop an effective civil and military crisis management strategy aimed at conflict prevention’. In other words, new interventions are being prepared, even military ones, with the aim of converting the area into a protectorate. The tragic situation brought on by the criminal intervention of NATO and the European Union in Kosovo and particularly in Yugoslavia is indicative of what is likely to happen. Besides, respect for borders is not a matter of generalised declarations and wishes, as they occur in the report, but practical respect for the territorial sovereignty and integrity of these countries, in other words precisely the opposite of what the European Union and the USA are doing. It is clear that those who support this Stability Pact want to frustrate any resistance to their plans, especially when it involves conflict. They try, either by force or by economic blackmail, to terrorise peoples and subjugate them to the new order. And the question is this: what principle of international law are they basing their actions on? Convinced, then, that the Stability Pact will bring new strife to peoples in the area and reinforce the dominance of the USA and the European Union, we will vote against the report and step up our fight against the Pact and on behalf of peace, friendship and solidarity between the peoples."@en1
