Recently, in its resolution of 14 March 2002, the European Parliament adopted a position on this issue, condemning these events and calling on the European institutions to take measures to combat the deadlock. What initiatives does the Council intend to take to this end and what policy will it adopt towards the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC-EP), in collaboration with the new president? Does it intend to act as mediator in an attempt to achieve the resumption of negotiations and to break the deadlock in the country, and will it take immediate steps to obtain the release of Ingrid Betancourt?"
