I would like to express very clearly that the European Union people do respect the countries of this part of the world and don't want to offend anybody.
I stress that there has been no decision on the follow-on force, ... We need to look clearly at the mission size.
We said very clearly that the withdrawal has to be total; it has to be the end of the occupation.
It clearly proves that diplomacy can win over the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
The unilateral cease-fire proposed by Yugoslavia and the government of Serbia is clearly insufficient, ... Before a cease-fire can be considered, President Milosevic must meet the demands of the international community.
The unilateral cease-fire proposed by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the government of Serbia is clearly insufficient.
What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.
We have to do the utmost to maintain this relationship.
We are very concerned by the serious deterioration of the security situation in Gaza.
We are very close. The behavior of the Serbs' party in the conference in Paris has been really appalling,
We are trying to see how we can help to scale down the violence, and the situation of tension, and therefore to return to what is a dream of everybody, to try to negotiate a permanent peace.
We are trying to provide the necessary resources we hope that we will have enough money to support the Palestinian Authority until a new government is formed.
We think it is part of history, this embargo, but we have to find a manner and the moment in which it can be done without any difficulty, any problem.
