"Mr President, there is major disquiet within the peace movement that the incredibly rapid build-up of military capabilities will hinder the work on long-term preventive measures, some of which were presented by around forty peace organisations to the Swedish and Belgian Presidencies last year. One example is the renowned civil peace corps which Parliament has requested a number of times and which is mentioned in paragraph five of this proposal for a resolution. I have been nagging the Swedish Presidency for a long time to address the issue, as I believe that this should be an important matter for the image of Sweden – Sweden wants to be a country of peace. I received a negative reply for a relatively long time. However, I suddenly received a letter from the Council’s President-in-Office before she set off for Murmansk. In it, she writes that: ‘I hereby promise in writing that we will take up the issue of the peace corps once we have the structures in place’. This is perhaps a rather unusual way for a President-in-Office to inform Parliament of something. Even so, I have to accept it and so predict that something will happen regarding the peace corps. If not, I trust that my colleagues in Parliament will seriously address the issue."@en1
