lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I must firstly explain that I am one of the signatories of this question; I did so as a democratic service for Mrs Sandbaek who asked me to do so. I do not agree with the opinion of the majority of the speakers but this question has been around for a long time in this House and it was important to clear the air and see clearly in this history of enforcement. Indeed, it is the question of the application of the Agreement and not of challenging it that is in the question from Mrs Morgantini and others. The response from the Commissioner was very precise, completed further by the important clarifications given by Mr Belder. The Commissioner indicated that the application came from the customs authorities of the Member States. Mr Belder gave a very precise example of a Member State, which considers that this Agreement is being applied. Furthermore, there are appeal proceedings, which is the association council. If you have accurate details, Mrs Morgantini, you can communicate them to the Commission, who will not fail, I am sure, to mention them for the next Association Agreement. The rest are words and threats, which are founded on nothing. I am slightly worried, Mr de Rossa, that you are using this occasion to challenge the Association Agreement with Israel, because that is not the aim of this debate at all. I am also astonished that you want the US to put pressure on Israel to respect human rights more, whilst you do not mention the pressure that the European Union could and should exert on the Palestinian Authority to stop the terrorist attacks. We all heard Mr Arafat lamenting the current situation and transferring all the blame onto Israel, forgetting once again the fatal attacks of recent weeks. Now we all know the role that Hamas plays. The European Union, just like the European Parliament, could give its support to Mr Mazen through budgetary aids or parliamentary incentives. Mr Mazen seems to show a genuine desire to reach a peace agreement. We can back him instead of continuing to back those who, like Mr Arafat, think that the terrorist attacks are part of normal policy in Palestine on its romantic road to freedom. What freedom? That, I will leave you to imagine."@en1
