lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to welcome the High Representative/Vice-President of the Commission. The picture we get from Syria every day is more and more desperate. Let me reiterate that any leader who treats his people in this way – no matter how big his support might be, and I even doubt the 50% – can have any legitimacy in our view. There are three issues we would like you to tackle. First of all, strengthen the local and internal opposition to pave the way for political transition. As you have mentioned to some extent, we need to support the internal opposition, the local committees – many of whom are working towards and form the diversity of the opposition movement – to help them build stronger links and, if necessary, to arrange meetings outside Syria. But, of course, we need a political solution based on such an increase in internal coherence. I think you were right to mention the contact group; you mentioned Russia and China. Can I also ask for Iran to be included? I know there are some opposing voices inside the UN and US, but I think we need them to be a part of this if we want to have a solution, because they are part of the problem right now. We need to rethink our position there. If you find such a contact group and possibly a solution, I think we need to back that up much more strongly than with the current UN mission. We need not hundreds, we need thousands; we need a full UN peacekeeping mission and I think it would be high time to prepare for it now. We know how long it takes for it to be effectively deployed on the ground. Ms Ashton, I call on you to prepare this now; to get it ready, so that in time of need, we can deploy it rapidly and have a full-on mission on the ground, and not just a few hundred. Let me be clear, I am not calling for a UN mandate for international intervention as is the case in Libya, but for a peacekeeping mission inside Syria. One final point. You were talking about Russia. Are we ready to put all the incentives and sanctions on the table that are needed to convince the Russians to allow for the downfall of Assad? What is it that we are really putting on a table? What price are we willing to pay to get Russia on board?"@en1
