"Mr President, I should like to use this brief contribution to say a few words of appreciation for the Lagendijk report. The rapporteur, however, is advised to prick up his ears now, for I was the only nay in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Security and Defence Policy. Unexpected support from an opponent? Indeed, when it comes to the substance of the report. I appreciate Mr Lagendijk’s integral approach to conflict prevention. Not only with regard to the explicit causes of conflict, but also with regard to the hidden implications of policy that has ostensibly very little to do with conflicts. I therefore endorse the call to the Commission to carefully study the impact of European policy on local conflicts.
However, where the tasks of the European Union in conflict prevention are concerned, I do not share the rapporteur’s view. Recognising greater international connections, he calls for an extensive role for the EU. I have my reservations about this. Out of appreciation for the report and so as not the create the impression of opposing conflict prevention, I will change my vote against to an abstention."@en1
