". Our abstention on this report on the situation in Iraq is basically the result of the contradictions that remain in it. Two main reasons stand out: The first concerns certain positive aspects of the report, namely support for the decision to lift the sanctions on Iraq, except for the arms embargo, but in a mitigated manner. The terrible conditions of life there, however, mean that every effort must be made to put an end to the economic and trade sanctions, for humanitarian reasons. The second has to do with the negative aspects, revealing the European Union’s difficulty in freeing itself from its dependent position vis-à-vis American interests, an example of which is the House’s rejection of the amendments we tabled, namely the proposal to hold an international enquiry into the health and environmental consequences of American and British bombing in 1991, due, specifically, to the use of depleted uranium weapons. A further negative point is the clear lack of condemnation of the bombing raids that Iraq still suffers periodically."@en1
