lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the pertinence of his comments and for his many proposals. Out of the 34 poorest countries in the world, 20 are involved in a conflict. This situation is giving rise to instability in entire regions. Mr Morillon is right to highlight the question of poverty, the eradication of which is one of the objectives we set when we met with the ACP countries. I think that today we cannot afford not to think about debt cancellation and the structural adjustment policies which push these countries off course. I think that we must stop fixing the prices of raw materials ourselves and that we must sell triple-drug therapies and medicines at cost price. I am convinced that this is where a certain number of solidarity measures must be put in place. Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as I am talking to you I feel I must spare a thought for all democrats and for the people of the Ivory Coast and, in the name of democracy, to ask for the departure of the military junta and General Gueï. We know that, if he stays, this will mean the balkanisation of Africa. His power is based on ethnic divides which we cannot accept. I therefore believe that, to go in the direction outlined by the rapporteur, we must have extremely clear things to say to the European taxpayer and to the ACP countries. We must make a commitment to tell the military junta in the Ivory Coast, and all dictatorships, that we will never issue them with visas or give them protection. We will also freeze their assets and, in addition, we will give our full backing to all democrats. It is simple and powerful phrases like these that will allow us to understand each other."@en1
