lpv:translated text	". The report on Euro-Mediterranean cooperation once again conceals the EU's arrogance towards the Mediterranean countries. 'Civilized' Europe is prepared to teach democracy and the free market to its 'uncivilised' neighbours. It is becoming the appraiser of everything, especially when it comes to human rights, at a time when a huge network of dictatorship, repression and police states is unfolding in the EU itself. It is disseminating its own version of terrorism, it is imposing special clauses in association agreements, while it has not a single word to say about Israeli state terrorism. It is taking advantage of its economic supremacy not to assist in the development of the countries of north Africa and the Middle East, but to impose its terms on trade and on their internal affairs. The report goes as far as to call on partner countries to implement policies for convergence with the euro, while pressing for the development of the private sector. Despite pronouncements to the contrary, Euro-Mediterranean relations were and remain unequally priced. They were and are a vehicle for intervention in the internal affairs of Mediterranean countries, in the aim of supporting the economic, military and political interests of the ΕU. This policy will be stepped up given that, following enlargement, the ΕU's attention is turning towards the Mediterranean. In voting against the report, the Communist Party of Greece is expressing its support for the peoples and their fight, which is the only road to progress."@en1
