"Mr President, although the request submitted by Palestine to the UN Secretary General is not realistic, we do not know of course exactly what its content will be and where it will lead. At this moment, something else is fundamental and I am saying this just as an aside to the fact that we are all addressing the whole peace process and how it should appear. I believe that at this time, the stance and strategy of the European Union is important. It is not possible, and it would be against the spirit of the Treaty of Lisbon, to leave that question to individual Member States and to avoid the opinion of the European Union as a whole. It would be a mistake, as the European Union is perceived in the world and especially in the Arab world as an arbiter of international legitimacy. The so-called ‘soft power’ lends the European Union great credibility. Baroness Ashton and her office must therefore expend every effort to formulate a common European position on the Palestinian request. If we are successful in this, then we will certainly be able to formulate our own European proposals for the UN Security Council, but without a common position we will fail again."@en1
