"I wish to congratulate Mr Brok warmly on the clear-sightedness with which he put these issues to the House and on his political approach. As a confirmed federalist and staunch advocate of the Constitution, he did not shy away from the difficult issues and described the EU’s responsibilities in today’s world.
I should like, however, to touch on a point in this report directly related to the Middle East conflict and the EU’s passivity in the face of the disastrous state of affairs - a passivity that emerged from the debate this afternoon on the situation in Palestine. This year, the EU’s focus should be on the Palestine situation. I therefore disagree with the EU’s position. The crux of the world’s problems and instability is known to be in the Middle East. Of all its foreign policy responsibilities, the EU must give top priority to taking on these challenges if we want to live more safely, in a society characterised by democracy and peace.
As regards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the international community, and indeed all of us, must champion the solution of two States living side by side in the region within the borders defined in 1967."@en1
