lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the nineteenth Winter Olympics start in Salt Lake City in the USA on Friday 8 February. As you know, the aim of the Olympic Games is to promote world peace, friendship, understanding, solidarity, dialogue and the peaceful coexistence of nations and cultures through the common endeavour of athletes from all over the world. This is the spirit in which the Olympic truce, the fundamental principle behind the Olympic Games, was born in the eighth century. Weapons were laid down and all hostilities ceased while the Games were on. As the idea of this truce, of global conciliation, echoes ideas and values repeatedly proclaimed in this Chamber, I should like to ask you to write to the President of the Olympic Committee, Mr Rogge, and to the Secretary-General of the UN, Mr Kofi Annan, confirming that the European Parliament supports the idea of a truce and calling on everyone involved in armed conflict to lay down their weapons and use the coming weeks, while the Olympic Games are under way, to resolve their differences peaceably."@en1
