"Mr President, on a point of order, I would like to draw the attention of the House to a joint statement by the Communist, Workers and Left Parties against the aggressive war on Iraq. The statement, signed so far by 60 parties from five continents, notes among other things, that: ‘aggression against Iraq, which is based on the new US doctrine of pre-emptive strikes, threatens to destabilise the whole region and bring grave consequences for human civilisation as a whole. It poses a huge threat to international peace and the system of international law, and creates a precedent for other arbitrary acts of aggression.’ The statement concludes: ‘we must stop the aggressive war on Iraq. We must warn against attempts by the big powers to blackmail the United Nations. We must oppose any form of European support for the war or participation in it. We demand that our countries do not provide the United States with military or other facilities to carry out its aggressive aims’. The question is, what will the European Parliament do to avert a war, in conformity with the wish of the overwhelming majority of the people of Europe? What will the European Parliament do to ensure that no Member State provides any assistance to the United States if they follow the path of war? I will submit a copy of the full text of the joint statement to the Secretariat."@en1
