Det Europæiske Fællesskab har gentagne gange udtalt sig for en fredelig løsning, der inden for rammerne af en international konference anerkender, at alle stater i regionen, inklusive Israel, har ret til at leve inden for deres sikre og internationalt anerkendte grænser, og at alle folkeslag i regionen, inklusive palæstinenserne, har ret til selvbestemmelse.
The European Community has repeatedly advocated a peaceful solution with recognition, under an international peace conference, of the right of all the states of the region, including Israel, to live within their secure and internationally recognized frontiers, and of the right of all the peoples of the region, including the Palestinians, to self-determination.
