Senator McDowell raised the question of the relationship between the EU and the USA. I do not believe that there can be a peaceful world without a solid, friendly and co-operative relationship between Europe and the USA. This relationship must be based on equality and recognition that there is an international legal framework within which we operate. I will be travelling to New York and Washington next week with a delegation of MEPs to discuss the Iraqi issue. We will seek to meet people of various political stripes to talk to them about what we believe needs to be done. The European Parliament's position, adopted by motion a few weeks ago, is that there should be no unilateral military action against Iraq. If there is to be military action, it must be decided by the Security Council but more time should be given to the inspectors to reach a peaceful resolution.
