lpv:translated text	"( ) Mr President, far more people have lost their lives during the war in DR Congo than in the hundred times more high-profile conflict in Iraq. Note that these losses have been estimated to amount to between 50 000 and 200 000 dead. However, according to UN statistics, around four million people have died during almost ten years of internal conflict in DR Congo. This is a tragic world record. From an economic point of view, DR Congo is a very important country for the world economy. It has no crude oil, unlike the Middle East, but it does have a raw material which is needed for the production of mobile phones: coltan. A resolution of the conflict in DR Congo is at hand. This is not thanks to a single superpower which desires to be the world’s policeman, but thanks to the UN international forces, which have often been mocked. The largest peacekeeping force in the history of the UN has been deployed in DR Congo. It consists of 17 500 young people. The elections in DR Congo have cost the international community 500 million dollars. This pales in comparison to the war in Iraq, which costs 177 million dollars just for one day. I think that the planned European Parliament mission will be a further step towards re-establishing order in a country which deserves to finally enjoy some peace. Finally, I would like to say that I do not agree with the proposal made by the previous speaker, Mr Pflüger, with reference to the dismissal of Commissioner Michel. It is far more entertaining to have Commissioner Michel here in this House."@en1
