lpv:translated text	". Mr President, let us hope that nothing goes wrong and that next week, as has been said, these peace talks between the Sri Lankan Government and the Tamil Tiger movement take place, but the process has not been easy so far and it will not be easy in the future. The 2002 ceasefire has been broken many times, hundreds of people have been killed over the last two years and there are thousands of internally displaced people. Kidnaps, torture and other kinds of abuse are still taking place, and the expectations created following the tsunami of December 2004 that that tragedy might help in tackling the internal conflict constructively have been dashed repeatedly. Furthermore, none of the mechanisms for investigating human rights appears to have been implemented satisfactorily. For all of these reasons, we should be glad about the Norwegian authorities’ determination to promote a peace process in such difficult circumstances. This peace process can teach us a new lesson in how important it is to invest in building peace, rather than stirring up war. If we analyse Europe’s investments in recent times, not just in Sri Lanka but in the region in general, we shall see that we have invested a lot in stirring up war and much less — very little in fact — in building and promoting peace. I therefore hope that these talks next week – and I certainly hope that they will lead not just to a peace process, but to a process of creating a fair and lasting peace – will offer a genuine opportunity that can be copied in other models and that can be assimilated into other peace processes, above all putting into practice what Mrs Lynne has said: all of the actors involved in the conflict must be included; nobody can be excluded, not even those who are considered to be the greatest enemies."@en1
