lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, America is afraid. It has been afraid since 11 September. It has waged war on every continent. It has little experience of war on its own soil; the last time was in the 1860s. Therefore it is afraid, and when a country or a continent is afraid, it can make stupid mistakes. America should listen to old Europe, this wise old lady, covered in blood and tears, the old lady that America itself came to save from dictatorship fifty years ago. Let America listen to her! This old lady would say: choose security through international law, bow to the decisions of the UN, agree to another UN meeting, which we must demand, for another resolution. We know the Americans are the strongest. We are forced to take note of it. That is no reason to be unilateral. That is no reason to stand firm on your own national interests alone. It must be said that our fellow citizens can detect a strong smell of oil in this matter. Some will say that this is untrue, but they can smell it and they know that three quarters of oil stocks are there, that America needs them, that tomorrow China will need them; they know that these stocks, these resources, must be made available for the development of our countries, certainly, but also the southern countries. These are world stocks for everyone, and first of all also for those countries. Lastly, a final word to young Europe, our Europe, this young girl that we are creating. This will be her hour of truth and we must harmonise the positions of her four Member States and one candidate country that are on the Security Council. What took place on Monday is not enough. We should be able to coordinate our position to decide together what we are going to do with our two rights of veto in the Security Council, anticipating what might be our future. In any case, there is no clear reason to give up, whether with regard to the meeting or the right of veto."@en1
