lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, it cannot be enough for political and institutional leaders to show their rightful indignation at the horrors unfolding in Syria, and I think you, Baroness Ashton, are aware of that. What is happening beyond our borders requires an appropriate response capacity, and frankly I do not think even the European Union as a whole has sufficient response capacity to meet the challenges facing us. How long must we stand and watch the massacre in Syria? We can understand all the current difficulties resulting from the fragile balance of power in the region; we can understand, yet not agree with, the positions of Russia and China, who will not allow the United Nations to take more incisive action; and we can also understand the mistrust in certain spheres in Europe towards the forces opposing Bashar al-Assad, not least because of their sources of funding. However, we cannot tolerate what is happening any longer. The European Union should go beyond its current activism and take a stronger lead. We have to disprove the idea that the Assad regime can do what it likes because the international community has shown itself to be impotent and that the European Union is too tied up in the economic and financial crisis to allow itself the luxury of intervening in the events in Syria. The decision to create a humanitarian corridor has not been put into practice. I think, though, we should make a fresh start on that and back up that decision with all the means at our disposal, bar none – and I stress, bar none – because that is a vital prerequisite for initiating the transition process and the transfer of power. We now need to turn our words into actions, and that is a task that is clearly yours to shoulder."@en1
