"Mr President, if the European governments are unable to arrive at a common position – and the Greek Presidency’s painstaking efforts here do it credit – then we must raise a loud, clear, united voice in the European Union against this war for oil and against unilateral intervention which flies in the face of international law, the resolutions passed by the UN and global public opinion. Yes, Mr Solana, we must give the UN inspectors what they are asking for: time, money, resources and information. We must give peace another chance. Unfortunately, war and violence are your preserve, the preserve of the men who rule in the decision-making centres, while the victims of war are mainly women and children. We in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities have repeatedly emphasised the need for conflicts to be resolved by peaceful means. War with Iraq will not only signal the resounding failure of diplomacy and policy, it will also mean that we have betrayed our values and our culture. It will mean that old Europe has no new, alternative standard to raise against the philosophy and culture of violence being promoted by the USA. The rulers of Europe have a huge responsibility at this crucial stage."@en1
