lpv:translated text	"Madam President, in my opinion, the words of the Italian Prime Minister have been misinterpreted by some, and exploited for internal political ends by others who have even used the platform of the European Parliament to exploit them for the purposes of European politics. Madam President, the left-wing Members appear to be extremely restless. As I said, they should discuss practical matters rather than using the European Parliament as a vehicle for political and election propaganda. In Italy, the citizens decided: the centre-right won. Silvio Berlusconi is Prime Minister and the left has lost. Over 200 Members of this Parliament from the European People’s Party took part in the convention in Rome, which included the meeting with the Prime Minister, Mr Berlusconi, and they can testify that Mr Berlusconi outlined the government’s positions and his own personal position on terrorism and the Middle East crisis. The members of the European People’s Party who do not belong to our coalition government in Italy can also confirm what the Italian Prime Minister’s views are. They are not those reported by certain newspapers nor those described by the left in this House. Mr Schultz, I did not interrupt you. I would ask you at least to be polite. Clearly, politeness was not part of your education. Please would you refrain from interrupting and learn some manners above all. Why are you getting so het up? Madam President, rather than concerning himself with the internal affairs of the European People’s Party, Mr Schultz would do well to concentrate on those of his own group, which has a minority in Parliament and lost the elections in Italy. Clearly, this irritable behaviour is evidence of the political difficulties currently being experienced by his group. Madam President, the Italian Prime Minister has made a very practical proposal, and I would like the European Parliament to express its opinion on this matter. As I said before, the hundreds of Members of the European Parliament from the European People’s Party who were present at Rome can testify to this. The proposal is for an incisive European Union economic intervention to support the Palestinian people, so that the economic growth of the Palestinian people can contribute to reducing existing political tension. This is a subject for debate, a practical proposal made by the Italian Prime Minister to protect and defend the Palestinian people, who are experiencing economically difficult times, in the clear knowledge that it is only by defusing the crisis in the Middle East that the world crisis can be resolved. And the Italian Prime Minister met with both Israelis and Palestinians. I would like the Socialist Party to discuss this subject in this House rather than disseminating election propaganda. The left-wing democrats are in trouble."@en1
