"Madam President, first of all I should like to put Mr Posselt right: the first person to ring Chancellor Schröder after his election was the British Prime Minister. Like everybody else I regret the US position, but I have some questions for the Council on the Commission. Firstly, are not agreements within Article 98 point 2 consistent entirely with the letter and spirit of the ICC Statute? Accordingly, if they are part of it, surely they cannot be said to undermine it? Secondly, as many countries told the US that rather than reject the ICC outright it should go along the Article 98 point 2 road, is it not difficult to criticise them for doing so? Thirdly, does not the US draft agreement state clearly that the parties expressed their intention to investigate and prosecute war crimes and, therefore, achieves the objective we wish to see? Can we not therefore build on that position rather than try to take extreme positions in this particular debate?"@en1
