lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, President-in-Office of the Council, it is always interesting to see a mini-debate take place within the same political group. You would think that you never have the chance to talk to each other. Still, we have learnt a lot during this short exchange of views. That said, I am going to express a position that is – I believe – held by a majority in my group but is not necessarily shared by every single one of its members. Honesty dictates that I say so. First of all, I would like to thank Mr Dowgielewicz – I apologise if I pronounced your name incorrectly – for having explained to us very clearly – at least for those who are familiar with the issue – where we are at and what we are trying to do. You rightly mentioned the Quartet meeting held on 6 July, during which it was decided that everything should be done to resume the negotiations which, since then, have not resumed at all. That is the very least that should happen. We are now faced with a potential Palestinian initiative and – if I am right about what is happening at the moment – with all-out negotiations aimed at shaping this demand by the Palestinian Authority so that it brings about the greatest possible unity among the Member States of the Union. This is an effort that we support and that we hope will bear fruit. However I also wish to be clear, ladies and gentlemen: for my part, and for many of my colleagues, if ever this effort were to fail, if ever the United Nations General Assembly were to consider a formal demand for recognition of the Palestinian Authority as a sovereign State, I very much hope that the majority of the Member States of the Union – if not all – would continue to support the clear position they have upheld since the end of last year, the full details of which, President-in-Office of the Council, you have, in fact, discussed. Because it must be very clear – and I will end here – that we cannot and should not ask the Palestinians to pay the price of the European Union’s unity. It is up to us, not them, to take on that responsibility."@en1
