lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Europe is sometimes in a great hurry, and sometimes being in a hurry makes you leave things behind. And I have seen that in all these documents on strengthening the Barcelona agreement we are forgetting some things. One of them is that liberalisation, a single market, cannot be established without taking care of some important aspects, such as people and culture or education. If we liberalise the markets and encourage a drive to integrate them while forgetting this, we run the risk of ultimately achieving colonisation rather than cooperation. Europe needs to think outside the principle of subsidiarity or go beyond it and realise that it needs to provide a great deal of aid in order to raise the level in the recipient countries, among both men and women, not only of basic education but also of minimum education, which in Europe is considered to be for all citizens. Therefore, we cannot just talk about products and the organisation of markets without thinking about those citizens. Secondly, I think that we are also forgetting another important subject, which is the environment. Europe has not produced any policies on desertification or on water that benefit the Mediterranean countries and we need to think about a Mediterranean environment policy that understands the location, the systems and also the climatic diversity of the Mediterranean. Policy as it is set out today could not be transferred to many countries of the southern Mediterranean. In this respect, we need to take into account that in Europe there is serious pressure from citizens of the north on the southern Mediterranean, through tourism. With the rise in crude oil prices there is going to be much more pressure on the Mediterranean. This translates into the consumption of the land, and a policy of environmental dumping, which is absolutely unacceptable. Also, we cannot demand that European citizens properly implement their environmental policy and not apply this to other countries."@en1
