"The aim of the report by Mr Morillon and Mr Cohn-Bendit is to bear witness to a firm commitment by Parliament to an active, effective Euro-Mediterranean policy. In this respect, it outlines ideas worthy of study.
First, the desire to enter into discussions with our partners in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) is, at last, translated into an approach that goes beyond the purely trade level to which the relationship between the two shores of the Mediterranean has thus far been limited. We should be glad that the emphasis has, at last, been placed on entering into political and cultural rather than just economic exchange.
In the same vein, the involvement of our southern partners in the definition of a common immigration policy is long overdue. This policy, which is often referred to but never established, is becoming urgent. Although the willingness that the report seems to express is overdue, it nonetheless represents a positive development in attitudes within the European Union.
I would also like to commend the co-rapporteurs’ intention not to set themselves up as role models: we all have as much to give as we have to receive, and there are few areas in which this humility is as necessary as in North-South cooperation.
This intention, however laudable, is, unfortunately, contradicted in the text of the report itself."@en1
