lpv:translated text	"Mr President, while the entire world is currently focussed on Iraq and the Chamber was full when we talked about it just now, it is the case that the attitude of North Korea is perhaps more worrying and that the danger it poses is very real. I do not have many real differences with our fellow Members from the PPE-DE on this issue. North Korea is withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, refusing inspections by the inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency and re-launching its nuclear programme. And what are we doing? Are we going to threaten war? No! Thank goodness for that and I am glad to see such wisdom. I entirely agree with the motion for a resolution. I would like to highlight three points from it. The first point relates to Pakistan’s role in this issue. Pakistan is one of our supposed allies, an American ally, which, solely due to the fact that it claims to be fighting terrorism, could, furthermore, without anyone taking any notice, provide North Korea with enriched uranium. We find this completely unacceptable and it should be condemned. Secondly, I welcome the decision of the Council and the Commission to also view the North Korean problem from a humanitarian perspective. From a humanitarian perspective without cutting humanitarian aid, but also trying to find other solutions to the problem of energy, which is a very serious problem in North Korea. Finally, the point which is probably closest to our hearts, which is dialogue. We believe it is urgent that we initiate dialogue between the seven major powers, which are the European Union, the United States, Japan, Russia, China, North Korea and South Korea, on economic, security and peace issues. I believe that it is really this firm dialogue which could lead to a solution to the issue."@en1
