Demà el Parlament Europeu debatrà diverses propostes de Resolució relatives a l’atac israelià sobre el comboi humanitari de fa uns dies. Els diferents grups hem debatut internament cadascú un text que demà tocarà negociar amb els alters. En el que hem presentat els Verds/ALE, hi destaquen els següents articles que formen part del consens dins del Grup

1.     Condemns Israel's military operation against the humanitarian ship convoy; deeply regrets this breach of international law especially the fourth Geneva Convention, and condemns the use of disproportionate violence against civilians;

2.     Supports the statement of the UN Secretary General and the High Commissioner for Human Rights calling for a prompt international and independent inquiry into this attack, and insists that the principles of accountability and liability be upheld; urges the HR/VP and EU Member States to take action to ensure that all appropriate steps are taken in order to make this demand effective and expresses the readiness of the EU to actively contribute in this respect;

3.     Urges Israel to immediately, comprehensively and permanently end the siege on Gaza, most notably because it is unacceptable from a humanitarian standpoint;

4.     Urges the HR/VP and EU Member States to take steps to ensure the sustainable opening of all the crossing points to and from Gaza, including the Gaza port, with adequate international end-use monitoring, to allow the unimpeded flow of humanitarian and commercial goods necessary for reconstruction and a self-supporting economy, as well as currency flows and unhindered movement of people;

5.     Calls on the HR/VP and the Member States to reappraise the mandate of the European Union Border Assistance Mission, potentially with a maritime dimension, in line with the current political context and security conditions on the ground  in order to allow its immediate redeployment;

6.     Calls on the HR/VP to initiate in close cooperation with the Arab League the opening of negotiations with the Palestinian National Authority on the control, the management and the international border assistance mission of the crossing points from and into the Gaza strip, including the Gaza port, taking into account also the role of the de facto authorities of the Gaza strip; calls on the EU to actively support the ongoing inter-Palestinian reconciliation process;

7.     Calls, in this regard, on the HR/VP to discuss at the forthcoming Council of Foreign Affairs the possibility to deploy an effective UN-mandated international border assistance mission aiming at controlling the crossing points from and into the Gaza strip, including the maritime dimension;

8.     Insists that, unconditional humanitarian aid notwithstanding, the EU must play a political role which delivers tangible results that are consistent with its significant financial assistance and economic weight in the region;

9.     Is convinced that there is an urgent need for a comprehensive reshaping of EU policy towards the Middle East to exert a decisive and coherent political role, accompanied by effective diplomatic tools, in favour of peace and security in this neighbouring region of vital strategic interest to the EU;  considers that such  reshaping should notably deal with the nature of the current EU representation in the region, in the context of the setting up of the EEAS which aims at improving the coherence and efficiency of the EU external action;

10.  Is concerned by the possible consequences of this attack on the relations between Israel and Turkey which may increase tensions in the region; highlights the valuable role that Turkey has been playing over the years in promoting the peace process and encouraging the Palestinian reconciliation efforts;

11.  Commends the work carried out by UNRWA and, aware of the financial shortfall it will face before the end of this year, calls on the international donor community to honour its existing pledges and to increase further its contributions;

12.  Condemns the vote of the Knesset House Committee to revoke the privileges of Arab Member of the Knesset Ms. Hanin Zoabi for her participation in the Flotilla;

13.  Calls on the HR/VP to urgently convene the EU-Israel Association Council for a thorough examination of the situation;

14.  Takes the view that any possible consideration of the upgrading of the relations between the EU and Israel must go hand in hand with lifting the blockade on Gaza, full respect of international humanitarian and human rights obligations and genuine commitments towards a comprehensive political settlement of the conflict; calls in this respect for the freeze of the consent procedure of the EU-Israel agreement on the Conformity Assessment and Acceptance (ACAA) of Industrial Products for the free movement of goods and technical regulations;

15.  Calls on EU Member States that are State Parties to the OECD to convene without delay a meeting with Israel with the purpose of the non-compliance of the principles laid down in the "roadmap for the accession to the OECD", notably in matters of international humanitarian and human rights obligations, and to take into account the outcome of this meeting in view of the signature of the accession agreement of Israel to the OECD;

A més a més, alguns diputats/des hem presentat conjuntament una esmena en la que directament demanem suspendre l’acord d’Associació entre la UE i Israel mentre no s’aixequi el setge i s’obri una investigació independent internacional que comporti depurar responsabilitats per part dels autors de l’atac israelià.

Demà el debat, dimecres la votació.
