"Commissioner, you should not be surprised by the fact that I too am congratulating you on the answer you have given us. The Portuguese Members closely follow everything that happens in Angola and the European Union must pay particular attention to Angola, given that other countries, such as the United States, are extremely interested in Angola’s natural wealth. It would also be rather negligent of the European Union not to view that country with solidarity in mind, which is crucial, but also bearing in mind the interests of the EU itself.
I genuinely believe, Commissioner, that the major test of Angola’s situation will be the presidential and legislative elections. These elections will give us an accurate reading of the democratic and civil situation in Angola, and will be decisive. We must therefore pay the utmost attention to them.
Lastly, Commissioner, I wish to ask a question on Angola’s intervention in neighbouring countries – because the Angolan Government and its armed forces have indeed been involved in various conflicts in neighbouring countries. Have there been any developments? Has Angola retreated to its borders and stopped intervening actively in the affairs of its neighbours?"@en1
