Mr President, I should like to thank the representative of the Austrian Presidency but, at the same time, I want to express my regret about the bureaucratic way in which he replied, as representative of the Presidency, to my question on an issue which truly constitutes violation of the principles of international law and the Founding Charter of the UN.
To be honest, I do not understand, Minister, the double language which the European Union uses to the Palestinians and to Israel. I see no statement, no measures being taken about the continuing settlements in occupied Palestinian territory. I see no reaction by the European Union to the statement by the Prime Minister of Israel, Mr Olmert, that he will unilaterally shape the borders of Israel by 2010.
