lpv:translated text	"Madam President, grateful though I am to the Commissioner for his detailed reply, I still have the feeling that we are fighting a running battle in some ways. Only a few weeks ago, the Presidents of Rwanda and of the Democratic Republic of Congo concluded a new peace agreement, only to be at each other’s throats again a few days later. My own sources in that country – a number of Catholic priests – have reported to me that there have been many gang rapes. Once again, thousands to tens of thousands of women have been raped. The Commission is indeed funding a programme in the region, but should we not look into the real roots of the conflict? We all know that there are massive gains to be made from the mineral resources – diamonds, coltan and gold. Together with the Council and its presidency, should the Commission not be taking action about this? This has been going on for years. I do indeed believe, Commissioner, that everyone expects you, with your personal dedication and your personal knowledge of the region, together with your colleague, Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, to have a stronger and more effective presence in that region, and I should like to hear your view on this."@en1
