lpv:translated text	"External military interventions are usually a bad thing, as they involve a major power trying to impose its will on the warring parties from outside, without the consent of those parties. Or they involve taking sides and giving support to one warring party based on the major power’s own interests or ideologies. That is what people call ‘peace-enforcing’, the imposition of peace. Peace that is not supported by the parties involved will lead to a resumption of conflict after the withdrawal of the new occupiers. My party, the Socialist Party in the Netherlands, repudiates wars like those in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, nor do we support the construction of an integrated EU army. We do support ‘peace keeping’, helping to maintain peace at the request of both parties in a conflict. This is geared to keeping the warring parties apart and avoiding new disasters. This is why we support this kind of military presence in Cyprus, Kosovo and Macedonia. If the UN does not bear the direct responsibility for this, then better the EU than NATO with its bias toward American war policy. That is why I am voting against the majority of the GUE/NGL Group and for the EU taking over peace-keeping responsibilities in the north-west of the Republic of Macedonia."@en1
