"Mr President, Mr Solana, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the situation in the Middle East requires special attention. The Israelis are living in a very difficult situation, as they have to cope with the constant risk of terrorist attacks, while the Palestinians are living in a thoroughly unacceptable situation. Anyone like me who has recently been an observer during the elections for the Palestinian President has had first-hand experience of a reality that seems incredible if viewed according to ordinary rules and criteria. I must confirm, by the way, that the elections went impeccably, despite the local situation. In the Palestinian world, people live without any points of reference, without any certainties, in a social situation of total decay in environmental, employment and organisational terms. In the Israeli world, people live in a constant search for a means of defence. Aid and support come in from many places but, so far at least, they have not led to any tangible results. I believe we need to know what resources the Union has committed to the area in recent years, with what aims and under whose responsibility. I also think it appropriate that future investments should be aimed at improving the quality of life in the Palestinian lands. Commissioner, it is not enough to make donations, but we also need to check how the money is being spent. In that respect, I await an answer from you to a specific question of mine. I believe that a real commitment for the future, together with the political commitment to facilitate negotiations between the two States, which will also be aided by the new Palestinian Presidency, may perhaps in future produce an outcome which would certainly have been quite unimaginable prior to the current state of affairs."@en1
