Summary: December 19, 2003: Comments by Javier SOLANA, EU High Representative for the CFSP, after the speech of Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon (Brussels)
Javier Solana, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, made the following comments after the speech made yesterday by the Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon.
" I welcome PM Sharon's acknowledgement that a full and genuine implementation of the Roadmap is the best way to achieve true peace between Israelis and Palestinians. This important statement fully coincides with the EU's well known position on this issue. But what is urgently required is that courageous and bold steps be taken in parallel by both sides for the effective implementation of the Roadmap.
The European Union remains fully committed to play its part and to support the parties in this endeavor. There is no unilateral solution to this conflict. Any statements pointing in that direction will certainly not help to move the process forward. "
