lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think it is a very welcome proposal for us to now grant duty-free access to agricultural and fishery products from the Palestinian regions. On the one hand, it can be thought of as a well-defined proposal. It is, after all, the smallest trading area that the EU has any kind of agreement with in this way. On the other hand, however, it is very symbolic, as some of the debate here today is demonstrating. Perhaps right now especially, when we see that the Palestinian Authority is attempting to achieve unilateral recognition in the United Nations, although I, personally, have my doubts as to whether that really will be able to establish peace and security in the region. On the other hand, however, the decision that we will take tomorrow will be able to make a difference. By opening the way for trade, economic development and prosperity, we will also be providing prospects for the future for those who currently lack them, and that is the most important step towards establishing security and prosperity. It requires Israel’s cooperation, however. A lot of what the Palestinians currently export is controlled in practice by Israeli export authorities, and cooperating to ensure prosperity in the Palestinian territories is extremely important for Israel’s security. The European Parliament should bear in mind that what we are now doing for the Palestinian side should, of course, also be done for the Israelis. It is not the case that the Israelis will lose out if the Palestinians receive better trade prospects, or that the Palestinians will lose out if the Israelis receive better trade prospects. Therefore, we clearly ought to get out of the stupid political deadlock we are in when it comes to Acre and also approve an Israeli agreement, because trade produces prosperity, development and prospects for the future. These are things that both the Palestinians and the Israelis need."@en1
