". Mr President, following the statements by the Presidency-in-Office of the Council and by the Commission, and following the results of the Palestinian elections, to which Mrs Ferrero-Waldner has referred, it is clear that a political, economic, social and humanitarian crisis, an economic collapse, is brewing. There is even talk of the possibility of a civil war, which we hope will not materialise. In any event, as Mrs Ferrero-Waldner pointed out, we are clearly dealing with a double contradiction: an internal contradiction from the European Union's point of view, because it is not possible for the European Union to include the party that has won the elections on its list of terrorist organisations and, on the other, to make a financial contribution from the Community budget to an organisation that does not renounce violence. There is also an external aspect to this problem: the international community, Mr President, must be united in its rejection of terrorism and of violence. I believe that this Parliament must support the statement by the Presidency-in-Office of the Council. We must be forthright in defence of our principles; we must try to channel the aid via the President of the Palestinian National Authority; we must try to ensure that the Palestinian people do not suffer, as Mrs Ferrero-Waldner has stressed, and we must continue to provide aid for fundamentally humanitarian reasons. Mrs Ferrero-Waldner has also said that nobody has helped the Palestinian people as much as the European Union. And that is absolutely the case, because of every 100 dollars spent on this peace process, 60 have been provided by the European Union. Mr President, we cannot carry on helping the Palestinian people if their government does not help them, if it does not reject terrorism entirely and for good, if it does not renounce violence and if it does not recognise the State of Israel and the agreements that have been reached between the Palestinian National Authority and the other party in the peace process. Aid must be conditional upon these things, Mr President, and I believe that we in this Parliament must fully support the Presidency-in-Office of the Council and the Commission, whose position is more than reasonable."@en1
