Der­for beder vi om, at fællesskabsinstitutionerne ikke ser passivt til i denne fase af diplomatisk initiativ, men at de straks tager kontakt med alle de interes­serede parter, først og fremmest PLO, ved at ind­byde Yasser Arafat til et møde, som hidtil aldrig har fundet sted, med fællesskabsinstitutionerne, med den israelske og den egyptiske regering, med USA's og
We therefore call on the Community's institutions not to look on passively at this stage of the diplomatic initiative, but instead to make immediate contact with all the interested parties — first of all, with the PLO — inviting Yasser Arafat to a meeting—which has never before happened — with the Community institutions, and with the Israeli, Egyptian, US and Soviet Union governments, to make every effort that might overcome existing prejudices and opposition, so as to support the positive initiatives that are in progress, to give every economic assistance, and to guarantee the full cooperation of the Community's institutions, for any action that can lead to an effective, long-lasting peace in the area.
