lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the scope of European Union foreign policy needs to be extended in the light of the recent international developments, but the Member States’ governments have to realise that we cannot have a common foreign policy without joint intelligence. The geopolitical situation, poverty – an increasingly serious problem – and the growth of terrorism – there are now cells in all the countries of the globe – must prompt us to start work at Laeken on a project to introduce genuine joint intelligence, new intelligence which is not created or developed along the same lines as Europol but which is capable of being used transparently with political, economic and cultural analysts who will be able to focus our foreign policy on that cooperation and timely intervention without which the European Union, with or without institutional reforms, will not be able to get off the ground. With a view to achieving peace in Afghanistan and the subsequent reconstruction of the country, the Union’s role both as mediator and a proactive force must be defined now so that Afghanistan’s future is characterised not just by economic recovery and the establishment of a democratic political system, but also by the reestablishment of a role for women in politics and social life. The Union cannot ignore the fact that, to bring about genuine peace in the Middle East, we must work actively to oppose those who encourage, or, at any rate, do not offer resistance to local terrorism which, it is now quite clear, is supported at international level, and the Union has the economic and political tools to intervene along these lines. In conclusion, the success or failure of the Convention depends on the will, the genuine European convictions motivating us, our will as individual parties and governments not just to produce documents on reforms but to focus on practical action that, as well as improving the situation of our own countries, can improve the situations of countries that look to us for help too."@en1
