lpv:translated text	"Mr President, you cannot play and wage war at the same time. You cannot send some of your young people to a sports ground to compete in peace and some of your young people to a battle field to be killed. That is the simple message of the Olympic Truce: the Olympic Truce is not a magic wand for resolving wars; it is a window of opportunity. Six years ago, in view of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Athens, Greece and the International Olympic Committee, represented at the time by Samarand and Papandreou, reinstituted this institution. Today, this romantic idea now has weight. The United Nations have approved it unanimously. No other resolution in the history of the United Nations has ever had unanimous support. Leaders from all over the world have signed it. In 1994, ten thousand children in Bosnia were vaccinated because there was a day's truce. Was this a romantic move? Surely not for the children. In 2004, in Athens, North and South Korea paraded in the stadium under one flag. Romantic? Only the Olympic Games managed it. May we Europeans, in a European Union which was born of war, send out a similar symbolic message. May we all parade at the Olympic Games with our own flag in one hand and the European flag in the other. There is no reason why we should not. It could happen and we should request it."@en1
