lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, the questions raised by Mr Brok on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy come at a very opportune moment just three months after the vote on the report on the European Security and Defence Policy, which I had the honour of presenting to Parliament. It is important to know what the Swedish Presidency of the Council and the Commission have done since then as promises were made, especially regarding the civil aspects of crisis management. Thank you, Madam President-in-Office, Commissioner, for the information you have already given us. However, I cannot hide my true concern. Having worked with or in organisations such as the OSCE and the Council of Europe, both of which deal with the prevention of conflicts and the civil management of crises, I know from experience how timidly the Member States support their efforts. I am not talking simply of the lack of finances. In this regard, the European Union is fortunate enough to dispose of quite considerable amounts of funding. It is obviously a question of using them in a coherent and coordinated fashion. I am thinking above all of the lack of political support. What can an international organisation do? What can the European Union do if the Member States carry out different analyses, have different objectives or do not have any objectives at all and if the Member States hesitate in taking decisions? The war in the Balkans offers sometimes tragic examples of all these shortcomings. I believe, Madam President-in-Office, Commissioner, that Parliament would be pleased to feel that the members of the Council clearly have the will to provide this real political support, which conflict prevention needs if it is not to descend into taking ad hoc actions founded solely on charitable sentiments."@en1
