lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the fact that the Social Democrats and the Left here at Parliament have turned the Agreement on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAA) into a pawn in a great political game about the Middle East is both irresponsible and a breach of the trust of sick people in both Israel and Europe who need medicines. It is wrong to assert that this agreement is about upgrading trade relations between the EU and Israel. The agreement is not about upgraded relations or the conflict between Israel and Palestine. It is about facilitating the introduction and approval of new medicines, all so that sick people in Israel and Europe can have access to the best medicine as cheaply and quickly as possible. Stopping this agreement would be tantamount to punishing those whom we should agree are completely blameless in this conflict, namely sick people. We started this work back in 2010, and at that time we worked in parallel on an agreement with Palestine on fruit and vegetables. In 2011 I voted for approval of the trade agreement with Palestine on fruit and vegetables. We did it in parallel simply because we did not wish to send any political signals to one side or the other. However, the left has stopped the agreement with Israel and only approved the agreement with Palestine. This makes a great political game out of something that should not have been a great political game. I would like to finish by saying that sick people in Europe should not pay the price for the Left wanting to score political points on something like this that should actually be capable of making people’s lives easier, both in Israel and in Europe."@en1
