"Madam President, I genuinely regret that we have failed to reach a unified position in the European Union. It is a great pity because this has been, and still is, an exceptional situation where Europe can play a significant role.
I am very interested in finding out why such a unified position on the Palestinian request for statehood could not be reached. On the other hand, I would like to inform a number of my fellow Members in this Chamber that this issue does not only involve a unilateral request or a unilateral recognition of Palestine, because the recognition of such a request, i.e. the recognition of Palestine within the 1967 borders, means, at the same time, the
recognition of the sovereignty and legitimacy of the state of Israel.
I would like to emphasise one more point. We have heard several times about certain measures being prepared against Palestine. I believe that the European Union should take resolute steps against this because it is impossible to employ sanctions or other measures to penalise a country that is exercising its right to submit a request for statehood."@en1
