lpv:translated text	"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I truly regret your reply. I believe that the problem relating to the trafficking in diamonds, which has cost, and is costing, many lives, deserves much more decisive and firm attention from the Council. I clearly cannot blame you for this, since you have just taken over the Presidency, but I would ask you to adopt much more energetic and forceful decisions. The European Union is committed to promoting peace and stability, not only in Europe, but throughout the world. If diamonds are not controlled it is clear that peace and stability in Africa cannot be promoted. In the case of Sierra Leone, Great Britain had supported the embargo, and France as well, to a certain extent. The Council could promote a generalised embargo of all diamonds originating in Africa and, above all, the control of certificates. We know these measures would be difficult to implement but, in any event, any advance in this respect would save human lives and contribute to the pacification of truly dramatic conflicts in Africa."@en1
