Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne sige, at Østtimor-problemet i den sidste tid - efter at have været glemt af det internationale samfund i årevis - lykkeligvis har været et vigtigt og næsten konstant debatemne i de internationale institutioner, i FN, i USA's Kongres osv. Jeg glæder mig også over, at Rådet har udtalt sig i denne sag.
Mr President, I should like to say that the problem of East Timor, having been forgotten for many years by the international community, has fortunately now become a subject of almost constant and major debate in the international institutions, in the United Nations, in the American Congress and so on. I must also applaud the fact that the Council has already stated its position on this matter.
