With Mr Piétrasanta’s report the European Parliament must express an opinion on the state of relations between Europe and its Mediterranean partners.
This report raises the fundamental questions underlying the partnership and gives pertinent answers which I support, in particular the need to stress the political dimension of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership in order to foster democratisation and peace, support for Mediterranean civil societies, the systematic inclusion of the human rights issue in follow-up, and the establishment of a genuine Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary assembly at the next EuroMed ministerial conference in Naples in December 2003.
I shall vote in favour of this report in order to give strong backing to the inclusion of these objectives in the MEDA programme. But this programme alone is today insufficient to cover relations between the EU and its Mediterranean partners.
No additional resources have in fact been provided to this day (for 2003 the MEDA regional funding plan will have EUR 32 million and the ‘Euro-Mediterranean investment and partnership facility’ EUR 25 million), and the discrepancy between Europe’s financial effort for the ten new members and its commitment to the Mediterranean is spectacular, not to say scandalous: EUR 185 of aid per capita for the East, half a euro per head for the Mediterranean."@en1
