Mr President, Mr Jouyet, it is time for contrition – this appears to be the mood today – or at least for rethinking dogmas and instinctive reactions, and moreover, I am grateful to Mr Sarkozy for giving, this morning, an example of this which seemed sincere. Therefore, let us also rethink our old, very old mistrust when it comes to Russia, or rather mistrust of this country which is, whether we like it or not, one of our partners.
From this point of view, I also recommend – as Mrs Neyts-Uyttebroeck did – reading a biography of the Countess of Ségur, in particular the one by Mrs Strich, published by the excellent Bartillat, and you will see the true importance which should be placed on a word which you said twice, if I heard you correctly: ‘interdependence’.
Yes, clearly we are interdependent, but not just in terms of fighting terrorism or weapons of mass destruction. We are interdependent from all points of view: with regard to energy, to state the obvious, but also with regard to research, industry and politics, in a multi-faceted manner, of course.
Let us consider what the face of Europe in the 21st century will be like, depending on whether our nations will still be involved with promoting the immense riches of Siberia. So please, let us stop espousing disputes which are not our own, but those of a third power with an interest in dividing Europe in order to dominate it. Believe me, in this regard I am considering Europe’s interest, if you will accept that French sovereigntists also are concerned by this matter."@en1
