"Mr President, it is appropriate I raise my point after this exchange because the greatest political excitement in the Brussels village at present is the machinations and intrigues on the fisheries policy, rather than the content of it which is of course very important. It is a great pity that we do not have the flexibility to insert on our agenda a debate on the threat of nuclear war in Asia between India and Pakistan. I wish to protest that we are navel-gazing and ignoring the greatest threat to the world's security today – a war in which millions of people could die.
I am glad that Mr Solana, Mr Patten and Mr Straw have gone to the region, and I am not saying a European Parliament debate would be decisive, but we seem to be ignoring the issue. The European Parliament is therefore abdicating any claim to seek to build an effective EU common foreign and security policy. When such a threat is hanging over the world, to be honest, it puts some of what we have heard in the last quarter of an hour into perspective."@en1
