lpv:translated text	"Mr President, an appalling lack of political freedom, coupled with a harrowing socio-economic situation, has led to weeks of mass demonstrations and the eventual resignation of President Mubarak. The word on the streets of Cairo was that only one Egyptian citizen was actually still adhering to the curfew: Hosni Mubarak. However, witty remarks alone will not improve the average standard of living of the Egyptian people. That will definitely be one of the first tasks of Mubarak’s successors, if they wish to avoid the risk of the explosion of a new wave of protests. At the same time, we are still waiting for the internal democratisation process to get off the ground. Ensuring the peaceful unfolding of that process will be of great importance, not just to Egyptian civilian society itself, but also to the region as a whole. I welcome any assistance which the European Union can provide for this double transition process, and that also applies to the vulnerable position of the Copts and the continuity of Egyptian-Israeli relations."@en1
