  1. The challenges facing the international community - poverty, conflict, terrorism, non-proliferation, climate change - are closely interlinked and of a magnitude that requires collective action. This is why the United Nations is at the centre of the European Union's international engagement. It was already recognized in the European Security Strategy and is now enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty. The close cooperation of the European Union and its member States with and within the United Nations is a powerful reality. The European Union is working intensely with the Secretary-General and with the Security Council to support the maintenance of international peace and security, in line with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter and relevant Security Council decisions, including resolution 1631 (2005).

  2. Mr. Serrano: This is a day of deep grief. On behalf of the European Union (EU) I wish to convey heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of Haiti, to the Governments of the countries that have suffered casualties and to all the families affected. The European Union and its member States are already actively involved in rescue and relief efforts. We are hopeful that our dear friend Hedi Annabi and members of his staff will be rescued. I reiterate the full support of the European Union for the Secretary-General in this difficult moment. Let me start by thanking you, Mr. President, for inviting the European Union to this important debate. I also wish to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for the retreat just completed, which allowed for very good exchanges.
