Mr President, like my colleague I think it was an interesting and comprehensive debate because it has shown that many specific questions have been tackled under banners of the CFSP and EDSP. Many of the individual issues will resurface in other debates we hold. Of course we have not forgotten human rights. Human rights have been mentioned by many of you and I think they are already intrinsic to our whole policy. It is very important that we become a global player with a European Charter of Human Rights and, hopefully very soon, a Constitution.
There is an issue that was not mentioned in this debate, but I would like to mention it because it is so important for security and development. This is the gender issue that is being so well promoted in Europe, including as part of our development and neighbourhood policies. This is part of the overall policy we want.
I would also like to agree with the comment that the European Union needs to work with partners to avoid nuclear and other sensitive materials coming into the hands of terrorists. This is a key objective in our joint work action plan.
I also agree with Mr von Wogau and others who said that there is a very important link between internal and external security. This is also key for close cooperation between the different directorates in the Commission and DG External Relations.
Finally, there was a very specific question on demining. It is not only a problem in Bosnia. It is an issue throughout the world and we are therefore very happy that the Review Conference of the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel landmines was held in Kenya, where we saw that this issue that has been promoted by the European Union has come forward very strongly. There are many more things to be done, but we have a good, comprehensive basis. Let us work together on that basis."@en1
