lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there are two extremely sensitive issues of concern to the public of the Arab countries, including what are known as the moderate Arab countries, and they are the Palestinian issue and the impact of the embargo on Iraq. It is the international community, not the dictator, which will be blamed for the impact of the embargo on Iraq, we must be quite clear about that. I do not feel there is any division here, as has already been said, as regards condemnation of Saddam Hussein and his regime. However, the repeated announcements of unilateral action by the United States – which were not the invention of the international press but have been repeated on several occasions by the President himself – are having two, extremely negative consequences: on the one hand, the interests and fate of the dictator are becoming linked to those of his people once again – you saw, even yesterday, Saddam Hussein’s declarations, 'we will resist, we will win' – and, on the other, there is a build up of opposition to this action. I therefore believe that the European Union must pursue the path of international law, the path of the United Nations, resolutely, and that a much, much clearer link must be established between the readmission of the UNSCOM and the end of the embargo on the Iraqi people, for this will enable us to start to dialogue with the people of Iraq. Otherwise it will be extremely difficult to make any impact on Saddam Hussein. Moreover, the West’s task is hardly to replace Saddam with an for example. We must introduce democracy into this and other Arab countries, and I believe that, if Europe genuinely believes in this position and is united, then it will be able to make a contribution."@en1
