lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the President of the United States has described the violence in Sudan as genocide and he is undoubtedly not far from the truth. The number of people killed in and around Darfur is currently estimated at 50 000, and more than a million people are on the run. The Arab militiamen who are responsible for these atrocities are given free play by the Islamic Government, which has a crushing responsibility for the events that are now unfolding. According to Mr Pronk, the UN special envoy in Sudan, the Sudanese Government is cooperating in good faith, but, and I quote ‘the agreements on the ground are not yet applied in Darfur’. The question is what should actually happen in order for there to be clear condemnation of the Islamic regime in Sudan. The Commission is similarly grappling with this politically correct diffidence. So far, the Council and the Commission have been extremely reserved, not to mention lukewarm, in their reactions to the events in Sudan. It is therefore time that bold sanctions were taken, such as for example an oil embargo, together with all other necessary measures, in order to put a stop to the violence in Sudan."@en1
