The third challenge in establishing a Palestinian state is to create the institutions of statehood: hospitals, ports, airports, roads, courts, police stations, tax offices, and government archives. When I was a European Commissioner, we provided funds from European taxpayers to pay for these things.
建立巴勒斯坦国的第三个挑战是建立国家机构，也就是医院、机场、道路、法院、警察局、税务局以及政府档案。在我担任欧盟委员会专员的时候，我们从欧洲纳税人那里提供资金来支付这些东西。随后以色列镇压巴勒斯坦第二次起义把这些东西毁灭殆尽。
