summary
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on Iraq with 415 in favour, 38 against and 68 abstentions. The resolution was based on the own-initiative report by Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, Germany) recommending that the Council adopt an EU common position and presenting detailed political guidelines. (Please refer to the summary of 10/09/03.) Parliament stated that the natural resources in Iraq, in particular oil, are the property of the Iraqi people. It insisted that the Iraqi people should control their own natural resources. Parliament emphasised the need for the leading role of the United Nations in Iraq, to bring international legitimacy to its democratisation, and maintain internal and regional peace and security. It welcomed the change of attitude of the Bush administration towards a more active role of the International Community in the peace and reconstruction process in Iraq. Parliament emphasised that the EU will continue and, wherever the case, reinforce its support for the Iraqi people within the framework of its humanitarian assistance and reconstruction programmes and in direct cooperation with the UN and its specialised agencies. Parliament set out certain conditions for the International Conference of Donors, foreseen for 23 and 24 October 2003 in Madrid. These include the continuation of humanitarian aid and the UN trust for Iraqi oil sales. (See previous document.) Parliament also stated that any sound pledges and commitments by the EU would depend on the model of economic development to be agreed for Iraq and on the outcome of an evaluation of real needs and political suitability by the EU. Parliament stated clearly that implementation of the EU pledge will depend on the capacity to ensure a reasonable level of security and stability in the country and on clearly identifying internationally recognised Iraqi negotiating interlocutors.�
