lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as rapporteur for the report on the Middle East, I decided some months ago to focus on what is known as the ‘Roadmap’. I felt it would be absurd to do otherwise when the Roadmap is currently the Union’s guiding principle and when the Palestinian Authority – although I do not know how many Palestinians – support this document and the process it sets out. In all honesty, I am not convinced at the moment that Ariel Sharon has any great enthusiasm, either for the process or for the document. I say this for the following reason: when the Prime Minister presented the Roadmap to his government, he described it as a ‘necessary evil’ and secured his cabinet’s vote by stating that the 14 reservations or amendments presented to Washington – not to the ‘Quartet’ – are non-negotiable. The Prime Minister made no mention of having to remove settlements, which is crucial if a viable Palestinian State is to be achieved. Furthermore, Prime Minister Sharon declared on 27 May in the Knesset that the settlements would not be discussed in the context of the Roadmap, but bilaterally between Jerusalem and Washington. Israeli television also stated on 10 June that Washington had accepted Israel’s request for matters to proceed in this way. In light of these details, I wish to ask the High Representative whether he believes that this information and specifically this bilateral agreement on settlements between Jerusalem and Washington, if confirmed, might constitute a breach of the Roadmap. I should also like to ask the High Representative whether, in his opinion, Israel's 14 reservations or amendments, if accepted, could destroy all prospects for the process and for peace itself."@en1
