lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Frattini, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to recommend our travel report to you, because it is, in my view, a balanced one, and it makes more subtle distinctions than do some of the speakers I have heard so far. Commissioner, the fight in Chechnya is not a fight against terrorism only. The situation is far more complex. If you read up on it, you will notice that you will speak of Chechnya in a yet more balanced way. Ladies and gentlemen, we have paid a visit to Chechnya, and I did not gain the impression that the Russians have the situation under control. People are being abducted on a daily basis. Soldiers are being killed on a daily basis – ten a day on average. Human rights are being violated, and the Russians have indeed changed strategy and switched from a military strategy to a political strategy, which involves a referendum and elections being held soon. However, Mr Frattini, Commissioner, it is a strategy that is being imposed from the top down. It is not an inclusive process; it is not a process that involves all the layers of the Chechen population. Neither is it a process that involves the rebels, the resistance fighters, or even Mr Mashadov, the most recently elected President. I think that we will need to do a great deal in order to remedy this situation. As far as the humanitarian situation is concerned, I can fully support what the Commissioner has said. She has, I think, given a correct summary. Something must be done about what the humanitarian organisations are going through over there. Mr President, I should like to conclude with the Arjan Erkel case. Arjan's father is in the public gallery, together with representatives of . I should like to tell him here officially that in our resolution on which we are voting tomorrow, a paragraph has been devoted to his son's abduction. I also give you the assurance that this text will be translated into Russian the day after tomorrow. We have a delegation meeting of the Russian delegation in Moscow next Monday and Tuesday and as the chairman of this delegation, I can assure the relatives that we will bring up their son's case for discussion during our delegation meeting in the Duma next Tuesday."@en1
