Kyriakos Mavronikolas (S&D). – (EL) Madam President, I too, as a contribution to today’s debate, should like to point out that our action and stand are indeed the correct ones, that it is certainly high time to recognise a Palestinian state and that the political line, with a proper proposal from our side, will be supported at the level of the UN General Assembly.

Secondly, I should like to emphasise that I truly appreciate the action being taken by Baroness Ashton at this time and to point out that at least she managed to express a unified line on the part of the European Union on such an important issue. It is a fact that continuing efforts on her part could bring about a unified foreign policy on the part of the European Union as a whole, especially on matters which are directly topical and concern huge efforts by nations for their national survival.
