1. “The information given to the Joint Commission regarding the strength of UNITA's armed forces, the extension of State administration and the activities of radio station VORGAN is neither complete nor credible, and UNITA is continuing to impede the smooth conduct of the demobilization programme. The European Union strongly regrets and considers unacceptable UNITA's persistent refusal to honour its obligations. Such stalling casts serious doubt on the sincerity of its commitment to the peace process and makes the imposition of further measures by the Security Council, in accordance with previous resolutions, in particular resolution 864 (1993) of 15 September 1993, a necessity.”

2. “The European Union is extremely concerned by the persistent tension throughout the country, which threatens to jeopardize the progress achieved over the last two and a half years. It strongly urges the Angolan Government and UNITA in particular to do their utmost to improve the situation and to refrain from the use of force. More than six weeks have elapsed since the adoption of resolution 1118 (1997), and despite frequent reminders, particularly by way of statements issued by the President of the Security Council, the European Union and the observer troika's peace process mediation, UNITA has still not complied with the demands of the international community.”

3. “Mrs. Lucas (Luxembourg) (interpretation from French): I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union. Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia have aligned themselves with this statement, with which Norway also associates itself. Despite the efforts deployed by the international community for more than eight years now to arrive at a comprehensive settlement, the peace process in Angola is continuing to come up against serious difficulties. The deterioration of the military situation and the ongoing delays in the implementation of the Lusaka Protocol are such that the Secretary-General states in his report that the peace process is currently going through its most difficult stage since the signing of the Lusaka Protocol.”
