PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY
The Bureau
Statement
The Bureau of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, during its meeting of 6 May 2006 in Tunis, discussed the question of the financial support for the Palestinian People.
In this context, the Bureau of the EMPA reiterated the position adopted by the Assembly in its plenary session held on 26-27 March 2006 in Brussels which:
– Calls on the parties involved in the Middle East peace process to further their commitment to a peaceful two-state solution ; calls also for a renunciation of unilateral initiatives that are out of keeping with the Roadmap and international law, in particular based on electoral considerations.
– Calls on the international community to continue to support the Palestinian people, whose weakened economy cannot meet basic needs; is alarmed at the chaos that could result from lack of support and the illegal withholding of revenue to which it is entitled by law.
