lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Angola is still suffering from war, destruction and the senseless, shocking loss of human lives. Angola has everything it takes to be a great, rich, developed country and a factor for stability and progress in south-western Africa, but it has been squandering its resources and energies in a conflict which seems to go on forever. We condemn the use of war, and we condemn most especially inhuman attacks on defenceless civilians, women and children, attacks that nothing can justify. Several times over the years this Parliament has pronounced on Angola and has criticised attitudes and behaviour. We recall these deliberations, which we uphold and support and which the compromise resolution upholds, recalls and supports. Just as we remember the United Nations deliberations on the conflict and we do not deny that the various sides have different responsibilities. In our view, however, at this precise moment when a little window of hope is opened with declarations from the main players responsible and initiatives in civil society for peace, our role is to encourage this movement. We must tell the people of Angola and the political leaders that the international community is willing to collaborate in the search for peace. There is no military solution to this conflict. The General Affairs Council said so at its meeting on 11 June in Luxembourg. Today it is the European Parliament’s turn to affirm it on behalf of the peoples of Europe. We are pleased with the compromise text that it has been possible to draw up and we shall vote against the proposals that may disfigure it, not because we disagree with the content of several of them, but because what is expected of us today are words of encouragement and not of recrimination."@en1
