lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I can fully identify with the appeal in paragraph 22 of the Coveney Report. The new Palestinian leadership must put a stop to terrorist acts directed against Israel. The Council, the Commission and Parliament should also endorse this urgent appeal; if they do not, we might as well give up all hope of a resumption of the peace talks. Meanwhile, the forthcoming Palestinian parliamentary elections present the European institutions with a serious and urgent problem, in the shape of participation by Hamas, the Islamic organisation that features on the EU’s terror list with good reason. In fact, Hamas is expected to achieve good results in the ballot. How do the Council and the Commission intend to respond to that? Israel’s Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, fears that, after the parliamentary elections, the European Union will no longer consider Hamas a terrorist movement, and he is prepared to continue talks about a peace deal only as and when the Palestinian militant groups are completely disarmed and dismantled. If I remember rightly, the European Union made the same demands of the Palestinian Authority years ago. What will the Council and the Commission say to the Israeli Prime Minister? Whatever the case may be, you cannot tell this House that the inclusion of political parties with a military arm, in other words terrorist units, would be of any benefit whatever to the democratisation process in the Middle East, a region in which I would urge you to act consistently. A clear and principled European position of this kind will help the Israelis and Palestinians to reach a reasonable political settlement on human rights and human lives in that region."@en1
