European Parliament 10 October 2002, WRITTEN QUESTION P-2928/02 by Margrietus van den Berg (PSE) to the Commission. Temporary support for Dutch shipbuilding.

Reply (3 March 2003) The Council does not believe that actions like the recent siege of President Arafat’s headquarters by the Israeli army can help to solve the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. Therefore, the Council welcomed (on 30 September 2002) the adoption of UNSCR 1435 and urged both parties to show maximum restraint and to comply fully with this resolution.
