Text tabled : B7-0296/2012

  Dominique Vlasto (PPE), in writing. (FR) The other political groups dropped the resolution of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) concerning the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which was, nevertheless, balanced. My position, as well as that of my political group, is that a solution of two free and independent states living side by side within the 1967 borders should be sought. However, the resolution adopted by the different political groups will not, in my view, encourage the pacification of the region. To my great regret, the agreement is deeply unbalanced and garbles the political message of this House. We cannot expect a solution to this crisis, which is paralysing the region, if the two parties are not placed on an equal footing. From the start, I have fought hard for the ideas of the reasonable provisions to be taken into account. These efforts have borne fruit, particularly with regard to support for the economic and social development of the occupied territories and the need to re-establish a constructive dialogue between the two parties by avoiding any provocation. However, I am convinced that we must put an end to declarations of intent and move towards solutions that will re-establish peace and hope in the region.
