lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, any woman or man who, at any time in the course of the last few months, has bought any diamonds must have felt concerned that these might have come from Sierra Leone or Angola and must have wondered whether, in buying them, they had financed the mutilation of children or the drugging of child soldiers or had supported the abduction of the latter from UNICEF’s rehabilitation camps. We can condemn and we can make demands, but what we need to do, and can do, as a Parliament, is to come up with new ideas. As was said earlier, we need a long-term strategy for Africa but also a Schuman-style plan for the joint management of those of Africa’s resources which are being fought over, for example in Sierra Leone or in the Congo, so that the struggle does not lead to conflicts with fundamentally undemocratic warlords. What do we now have to learn, fifty years after 9 May 1950, that is to say fifty years after the Schuman Plan? We need an equivalent plan for Africa’s resources, just as we need a movement in opposition to the diamond trade. I feel that, from a human point of view, this is much more important than any amount of movements in opposition to the fur trade."@en1
