"Mr President, Commissioner, President-in-Office of the Council, as many fellow Members have already said here, it is still not clear what the Palestinian representatives intend to propose at the UN General Assembly. Many EU countries, however, can already see the problems that may easily be caused by a symbolic, unilateral declaration of independence, with no peace agreement. The reality of everyday existence will not improve: it will, instead, become worse. There will be more disillusionment and distrust, a complete deadlock in negotiations, and, at worst, violence. Accordingly, the EU’s sole message in this situation should be to recommend the continuation of peace talks. The EU cannot support a unilateral declaration, because it would constitute a breach of the provision on unilaterally refraining from such a course of action contained in the Oslo Accords, to which it is itself party. Support for a unilateral declaration would also be irresponsible, because Fatah and Hamas have now signed a letter of intent concerning a unity government, and Hamas is actually a terrorist organisation. After the local elections in autumn, it is very possible that control of the Palestinian territories will slip into the hands of Hamas. How could such a development in any way help promote the peace process?"@en1
