lpv:translated text	"Mr President, conflict prevention has hitherto not been a real priority. For military interventions, men and supplies are already in prospect, but it appears that we are not quite ready for prevention. We are looking forward to April. The key question remains, as Mrs Lalumière remarked earlier, whether the European Union will be sufficiently resolute when it comes to prevention. In the former Yugoslavia, we were unable to prevent conflict for a long time. And every now and again, conflict prevention ended in disastrous circumstances. I would refer to the many African examples, and Rwanda, in particular. The mandates on the basis of which prevention is organised must be sufficient so as to be one step ahead of the conflict. They must be able to work proactively and provide for crisis management. Commissioner, you talk about this entire armed force which will need to be set up. But our point of departure must first of all be based on a sound understanding of the underlying reasons and of the origin of conflicts. In many cases, the underdevelopment, neglect or suppression of certain regions, religions, cultures and ethnic minorities lie at the root of the evil. That is a fertile breeding ground for the illegal arms trade and banditry. Let us therefore not overlook integrated development cooperation as a means of addressing the deeper causes of conflict."@en1
